Welcome
to the first post of Sujavna in 2015.
I
hope that 2014 was a good year that provided ample opportunities for you to
practice lateral thinking and innovate in ways that you, your family, friends,
local communities, your employer, your colleagues and your customers, have
benefited. I wish that 2015 sees even better performance from all of us in this
front.
My
thoughts for today and for the rest of this week will be focused on how to
perfect the art of exercising the right balance between rational, logical
thinking and intuitive thinking. I realize that much has been written on these
approaches and the predominance of the former in todays’ societies. For me, the
unresolved challenge is about identifying the inflexion points when either of
the approaches will provide more sustainable solutions to the problems that we
may encounter in our jobs, our personal lives, in the developmental and
economic challenges that we may face in our small communities or cities or
nations or even wider global conflicts such as terrorism and climate change.
And how can one practice a balance in the use of both approaches? Can this be
taught in our classrooms, practically rather than in a pedagogic manner?
Happy
to hear your views. Wishing you all a great week ahead.
