Like rafting
- You need a leader/guide who has experience and can lead you through wild waters
- Everybody on-board should trust and obey the leader
- Instructions should be thorough, clear and understood to everyone before getting on-board
- Paddlers should paddle with the same cadence
- Directions from the leader should be relayed to all the paddlers
- Different attitudes are necessary on-board; the brave at the front, the conserved in the middle and the loud at the back and the leader at the steering holding the directions
- Each person’s mistake can make him/her fall off or capsize the whole raft
- The leader has to make sure everybody is prepared before the raft enters into erratic waves
- The raft must avoid obstructions and fall itself at the right angle into the wild current
- The ride should be enjoyable to everyone!
I like the way you find analogies to human interactions. It’s these associations that turn abstract ideas into those that are exemplified and typified in the concrete and also make them easier to call to mind. Sometimes you can get a realization about some idea and code it into an analogy; this help others to understand the idea. I like reading though experiments about physics, quantum mechanics, and astronomy. I get flashes of insight that I find quite exciting, if not long lasting–if I’m not careful to write down my ideas, they disappear and the moment is lost.
