Critical Thinking: Actively Seeking A Fresh Perspective

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This wonderful optical illusion – sent to me by Perspective Power subscriber Robin Cervantes – demonstrates an important point. If the picture hadn’t rotated, would you have been satisfied with your initial point of view? Would it have occurred to you to look at the image from another angle?

In a similar way, when we’re trying to solve a challenging problem (or spot a golden opportunity) most of us are far too satisfied with our initial perspective. As a result we miss the unexpected signposts towards a better path.

It takes awareness, strategy and tactics to actively shift your viewpoint. This rotating image shows us why it’s necessary.

Thanks Robin
