How will we break free?
There is an old story told..
A passer-by sees a big elephant with a short rope around its leg tied to a small peg.
The trainer explains to the man that the elephant has become conditioned and has learnt that it can’t break free from chain. As a young elephant, every time it struggled to break free from the rope, it would hurt its leg.
Now even as a grown up elephant tied on the same rope, it does not dare break free.
What have we learnt to give up without trying?
How can we avoid it?

We engage in various types of thinking for solving different problems. Thinking is a problem solving process. A process in which we reason about something. Types of thinking, we do · Concrete thinking – When we think in terms of our perception of actual or concrete things. Also called perceptual thinking. · Conceptual thinking – When we use concepts and languages. Also called abstract thinking. · Reflective thinking – When we solve complex problems and use facts and knowledge in a logical way to arrive at the solution. · Creative thinking – When we create or construct something new or novel thing. Also called thinking out of the box. · Critical thinking - When we evaluate everything and step aside our belief system to discover the truth. · Divergent thinking – When we explore a number of alternatives. · Convergent thinking –When we combine a number of ideas to arrive at a solution. · Associative thinking – When we think which is non-directed and without a goal · Linear thinking – When we process information in a sequential manner. · Gestalt Thinking – When we see the big and whole picture.
