Usually to start things off with our session Sir Jerald always gives up exercises or trivia's to get the class started. With this session he gave something to solve. He drew a square on the whiteboard emphasizing on the corners by putting up dots. He asked the class " Is there anyone that can make this square twice its size by only moving two dots and re-connecting it to make a newer one?" I gladly volunteered. Because even before i like solving riddles, puzzles because it challenges the capacity of my brain to think. Just like the game chess riddles and puzzles sharpens your memory. So i get up from my seat took the white board marker and studied the drawing. For around twenty seconds (I think) i have solved the problem. I just moved the upper left hand dot placed it beneath the lower left hand dot in its diagonal (90 degree angle) then I moved the lower right hand dot and placed it on the upper right hand dots diagonal. Making a shape of a diamond with equal sides (which is still a square).
I have learned that paradigm shift is solving problems out of the box. Thinking of new solutions to problems which is not by the book but is following your gut feel or instinct on a certain problem.
