In
a commentary on the life of Indian industrialist Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani that I
recently read, it was mentioned that he believed that if one does not act on
ones’ dreams, then others will recruit one and make one work for their dreams.
This set me thinking….
Can
there be a situation where everyone dreams and recruits others to fulfil them?
How will this work out? And honestly, isn’t this what normal societal
structures tend to achieve, going by the law of averages? The difficulty in
pursuing this line of thinking is when we assume that all dreams are similar in
nature and are all materialistic. But when we realize that each of us dreams in
different wavelengths and we realize our dream by smartly working towards them
by leveraging the different dreams of others, then each of us is a Dhirubhai
Ambani, (sort of…)!
Now
you may be wondering how this relates to the theme of lateral thinking. It is
my hypothesis that the process of lateral thinking is, in a sense, the same as
the search for matching ones dreams to the wider environment of dreams of
others and then working out a smart navigational tool to link all of them to
achieve objectives.
Do
you agree?
Wishing
you a great week ahead.
