365QOD- Day1307

Why Question?

"We believe.  No matter how wrong it is."- my observation

Third suggestion to improve our lateral thinking is to Question the question

Start by asking yourself:
“What if I could rewrite the question?” 
"How do I rearrange the pieces to form a new scenario?"

"In the trapped room scenario, instead of, “Which do you go through?” you might rewrite the question to ask, “Will you go through one of them?” or “Will these really kill you?” or “Do you even need to go through one of them?” 

These questions challenge the questions that we used to come up with the conventional solution.  If we ask better questions we could potentially identify a better solution.

Today's question is:
"How do you rearrange the pieces that you identified?"
