Have you ever encountered someone in your life who only uses the skill of linear thinking to draw inferences and conclusions in every incidences in life?
If [someone else does something], then [I suffer].
If [you don't do something], then [I suffer].
If [you suck], then [I suffer].
The ability to think multi-dimensionally and pictorially is a skill that we earn when we create and open for inviting new ideas.
It may apply to think about the present, the past, and the future!
At the present, I try to put God in everything I do in the first place. I want to create and make a difference through pictures of thoughts and faith to succeed, which is the most important ingredient to happiness =)
Looking at the past, I was working through many hurdles in family health, career-building, and relationships. I even lost faith in doing any type of thinking (linear/ multidimensional/ pictorial) because people came and went for no reason. The more I embrace, the better I feel gradually.
I have the lucky coin again to walk with someone who has committed with me in life! I am no longer lonely, but loved and cared for. Having a home, building a place of peace, and supporting one another in faith and hope. It certainly makes an orphan a heaven through many showers of love and warmth! I'm thanking my friends for being there and helping me to grow in character!!
Through linear thoughts, I don't understand how all the past events lead up to the present life. If I can put faith, hope, and love into perspective, I begin to see the beginning of a new life that's ready to spout forward and blossom till flourish!
In my pictorial view, I can see many strawberries and leaves. I want to see my garden full of fruits, because God helps me to plant with good tools and good people who share the same view and goals! Thank you for making my garden beautiful =)

I don't get it.
In my coursework, I'm learning the differences between linear thinking and pictorial thinking.
Linear thinking works extremely well in hard sciences (ie. physics and math), but not as well in soft sciences (ie. biology, psychology, and education).
Pictorial thinking is a term coined in many literature of autism, claiming that people with autism respond to pictures for communication and think in terms of pictures, as opposed to words. This may relate to creativity.
This post is a reaction that I have towards people who are dominant in one or the other. Essentially, it is 'weird' to apply just one way of thinking in everything.
Edward de Bono's book is suggesting to use 'six hats', hopefully people can think more flexibly, less rigid - more global, less local.
I have curve thinking.
