A short thread on the idea of thinking like a child -

A high school teacher drew a dot on the blackboard and asked the class what it was.

“A chalk dot on the blackboard,” was the only response.

“I am surprised at you,” the teacher said. “I did this exercise with a group of kindergarteners and they thought of fifty different things it could be: an owl’s eye, a squashed bug, a cow’s head. They had their imaginations in high gear.”

“Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist after you grow up.” ~ Picasso

A child’s mind is like a free and fearless bird in the sky. It is not polluted by limitations of what can’t be done. If there is one thing that you can learn from your child today – learn this – free your mind.

While growing up we have been told so many times about the limitations around us that we have forgotten that our imagination is not bound by any physical laws. No gravity, no space, no time – nothing.

Don’t know what to imagine?

How about this – If money wasn’t an issue, what would you do? What project would you work on? Where would you go? Who would you like to meet?

The leash attached to your thinking is an imaginary one. Snap it now! Let your thoughts run wild – in all directions.

Free your mind.

Think like a child.
