Birbal the Wise – IV

Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?

There was once a blacksmith who used to make spears and shields. He came to Emperor Akbar’s court and claimed – “Your Majesty, nobody can make shields and spears like mine. My shields are so strong that nothing can pierce them and my spears are so sharp that there is nothing they cannot pierce.”

On hearing this statement, Birbal immediately said, “You lie and I can prove that you are lying.” What did he find wrong with the man’s statement?

Check Braingle.com for the answer.

Creativity : Think Like a Child

http://ift.tt/1DAEit1

We have discussed how children tend to be more creative than adults for various reasons. Thinking like a child is a good way to rewind your mental clock and potentially invent some creative solutions to your current problem or project. A good way to start thinking like a child is to abandon your judgment and knowledge of what is practical and start asking playful questions.

1. What if your project were an animal? What would it look like? Draw it.

2. If your project had parents, what would they be like?

3. What does your project like to eat?

4. If you were a hundred years in the future, how would you solve your problem?

5. What if you were a caveman? Would the problem still exist? If it didn’t, what would be a related problem?

These are just examples of playful questions. Think up your own that make sense to your project.
