What happens when someone who loves thinking attends a bland, run-of-the-mill soft-skills training
Instructor:There's a glass in front of you.It's half full of water.What comes to mind?
Me:Isn't it suspicious that the size of the glass was never specified?Suppose this glass were as large as a continent—even at half full, that would be an enormous volume of water.If we managed and distributed it properly,it could go a long way toward solving the world's water crisis.But there's still more to consider.He simply said "water"—but is it seawater, or fresh?And this glass itself, with half its capacity still empty,could also serve as a dam.Could we install flow-control systems,or spillway equipment, into it?
