Logical Reasoning vs. Lateral Thinking
LATERAL THINKING
Lateral thinking is an idea generation and problem solving technique in which new concepts are created by looking at things in novel ways. The term was coined by Dr. Edward de Bono in his 1970 book ‘Lateral Thinking.’“You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction” - Edward de Bono
Difference between Logical Reasoning and Lateral thinking
Lateral thinking is not a substitute for Logical reasoning. Both are required. During brainstorming meetings, you encourage lateral thinking during the first session to generate as much creative solutions as possible, and logical thinking during the second session to select the feasible ideas.
Logical (vertical) thinking carries a chosen idea forward. Lateral thinking provokes fresh ideas or changes the frame of reference
Vertical thinking tries to overcome problems by meeting them head-on. Lateral thinking tries to bypass them through a radically different approach
Lateral thinking is not a substitute for Logical reasoning. Both are required. During brainstorming meetings, you encourage lateral thinking during the first session to generate as much creative solutions as possible, and logical thinking during the second session to select the feasible ideas.
Parallel thinking espouses the idea that we must organize our thinking and should not allow our thought to wander around. Parallel Thinking ensures we do only one sort of thinking at a time and the six different colored hats of Six Thinking Hats allows us to wear one hat at a time, each representing different modes of thought:
1. White Hat – Gathers needed and known information
2. Red Hat – Expression of feelings, emotions, hunches and intuitive thoughts
3. Yellow Hat – Expresses values, feasibility and the benefits to the situation/idea at hand
4. Green Hat – Generates alternatives and explores creative ideas
5. Black Hat – Focuses on the cautions and difficulties that may arise with an idea
6. Blue Hat – Manages the framework of the thinking process

I have been a onlooker here for sometime now. I didnt want to post until I was able to give back just as I have recieved from here. During the hard time
of the economy today I felt obligated to share with you how I have made it the past 6 months. Now I know this really has nothing to do with this site but as we all know
we each need tomake money and survive ourselves. Furthermore I wanted to share a site with you that can easily help you as it has helped me. In the past 6 months
I have been learning Internet Marketing techniques from using Blackhat and WhiteHat stratigies.
With these techniques I have been able to quit my job and focus just my time to internet marketing and now am making arounf $400 a day. My goal in the next 2 months is to beable to make $1k a day.
If it wasnt for this site http://www.InternetMarketersforum.com None of this would have happened. If your down and out and needing to make some online I suggest you check out this site.
If you join the site then you will ba able to see many more private methods to making anything from $100 a day all the way up to $1000’s daily. It just takes a little work on your part but in the end these methods truly work

Hi All,
First of all, very nice site. I just wanted to make a quick post in regard to Warcraft Gold since I had saw the question raised.
So, this site http://www.warcraftgold.org.uk I’ve found to be about the best there is as far as sites go to review before you buy warcraft gold.
They review all Warcraft Gold sellers so you don’t have to do any guess work when buying warcraft gold.
Hope this helps the guy that was asking.
Thanks

have a great day… definitely a thought-provoking post!
