YSK analological creative thinking is imperative for life
Analogical* typo
Why YSK:
It is important to be able to think creatively to problem solve. Without this ability small differences will prevent you from seeing problems having a similar or the same root cause or similar or the same solutions.
Just because the situation is slightly different or it involves different aspects, that doesnt mean it isnt applicable to something you already have a solution for. This is imperative for solving novel problems.
Focus on and seek similarities and core concepts. See the bigger picture instead of details. See the forest for the trees.
Think of this whenever someone claims something to be different.
If you do see it as different, it will cause you to be distracted by differences instead of the similarities.
Useful for scams from how we are told to live, to internet scams or running a seemingly different business.
Analogical thinking applies universally. Think of Einsteins analogy of relativity. How can something you have fun with vs something you dont apply to physics and time? It can if you see the similarities.
Just because something appears vastly different at first glance, that doesnt mean something is as different as it seems.
