I heard a story on NPR the other day about a mechanical heart. The heart creates a constant flow of blood, so the body doesn't create pulses, or a heartbeat. I thought about that when I got to the top of a steep hill, having run up it, and my ears were filled with the THUMP THUMP THUMP as I began recovering from the effort.
The researcher likened the thought process to the development of the airplane. Initial airplane development started mimicking birds, with wings that flapped. When designers went to the fixed wing concept, the airplane took off. Literally.
There is a need to think differently.
What are we doing and thinking about now? How would a RADICAL shift in thinking, transform what we are doing?
My Lesson: Practice thinking differently.
What do you learn from my thoughts/metaphor/story?
