创意思考

最近上了一堂公司所提供的 Analytical &; Creative Thinking Program，借此记录重点与分享个人心得，愿正在阅读此文的你也有所获。

来自英国的导师，教法果然与本地的导师有所不同。老外推崇双向交流，鼓励多发问和发言。印象中，这是我职业生涯中，第一次有幸参与由老外所授教的课程。

社交关系里，我们免不了会遇上一些难缠或麻烦的人 (difficult person) 。怎么样的人才会被标签为“难缠”呢？

有人回答，情绪化者，自私者和固执等人是他们眼中的麻烦人。专家则把“举凡与我意见不同者”（Different goal/thinking）归类为麻烦人。

可不是吗？凡事岂能尽如人意，你我的生活背景有别，目标不同，自然看法也不一致，当各自坚持立场时，难免会把对方认定为怪人。

我们都很习惯地重复做着某一些事，某些决定，跟同样的朋友说话和吃饭，甚至拥有一成不变的看法。我们把自己所认为对的事情变成“规矩”。（Our belief system creates the rules）。

倘若你不依着我的想法进行，那便是犯了我的大忌。

一再重复做同样的事情，造就我们不习惯接受改变，简直导致目光狭窄，食古不化。

改变，顾名思义，要改了才能变。上班时，不妨尝试改道而行。每天，不妨尝试做一件不同的事或你所抗拒的事；认识一个新朋友；跟某个点头之交的朋友说说话。。。。。。

此测试只是辅助你更了解自己的优缺点，它也只能反映你目前的状态。 目前的我，是个中等左脑性思维者。导师表示，多反问一些正面且建设性的问题有助于让思维转型。

反问，是一门学问。从这次的课，我意识到自己是个不懂得发问的人。更糟的是，我只是一个只会问“为什么”的人。这堂课，导师主讲的恰恰是“不要问为什么？”
