Convergent Thinkers vs. Divergent Thinkers: Is One Better Than the Other?

verybody is capable of both convergent and divergent thinking, depending on the situation. However, it’s natural to lean more toward one or the other when approaching problems and projects.

“Some people have a natural preference for divergent thinking. They are the people in organizations who love to come up with new ideas,” says Manning, “They are also the people who are most useful when solving daunting, complex challenges because they are more likely to articulate ideas that are new and useful.”

The real issue lies in becoming too reliant on one method of thinking. “Too much divergent thinking can lead to endless ideation and no solutions. Too much convergent thinking can lead to no new ideas and ‘analysis paralysis,’”

Project Management and the Lure of Convergent Thinking
That’s a trap that project management professionals—who are notoriously married to their plans and processes—can fall into easily.

Let’s break this all down with some examples. Divergent thinking starts with an objective—perhaps you need to generate 1,000 new leads within a month. You start by brainstorming creative ideas and solutions to satisfy that goal: happy hours with famous speakers, direct mailers including $100 gift cards, a man in a gorilla suit on the corner of Times Square.

From there, you move into evaluating those options and settling on the one(s) that works best. This is an example of convergent thinking.

Let's continue later today on this topic and explore it further. See you soon.

#26 直击韩国梨泰院踩踏事故

余华先生的《活着》是我在初中的时候读的，当时在图书馆哭的泣不成声。想到了网上最近几年流行的一句话：“时代的一粒沙，落在个人身上就是一座山”。似乎每一代人都有需要面对的苦难、挫折、挑战，个体的命运在历史的洪流面前显得微不足道。
以下是节选：

1、没有什么比时间更具有说服力了，因为时间无需通知我们就可以改变一切。

2、以笑的方式哭，在死亡的伴随下活着。

3、人是为活着本身而活着，而不是为了活着之外的任何事物所活着。

4、人类无法忍受太多的真实。

5、做人不能忘记四条，话不要说错，床不要睡错，门槛不要踏错，口袋不要摸错。

6、生的终止不过一场死亡，死的意义不过在于重生或永眠。死亡不是失去生命，而是走出时间。

7、一个人命再大，要是自己想死，那就怎么也活不了。

8、少年去游荡，中年想掘藏，老年做和尚。

9、人啊，活着时受了再多的苦，到了快死的时候也会想个法子来宽慰自己。

10、我沉湎于想象之中，又被现实紧紧控制，我明确感受着自我的分裂。

11、内心让他真实地了解自己，一旦了解了自己也就了解了世界。

12、检验一个人的标准，就是看他把时间放在了哪儿。别自欺欺人；当生命走到尽头，只有时间不会撒谎。

13、只要一家人天天在一起，也就不在乎什么福分了。

14、人老了也是人，是人就得干净些。

15、鸡养大了变成鹅，鹅养大了变成羊，羊大了又变成牛。

16、人死像熟透的梨，离树而落，梨者，离也。

17、活着是自己去感受活着的幸福和辛苦，无聊和平庸；幸存，不过是旁人的评价罢了。

18、女人都是一个心眼，她认准的事谁也不能让她变。

19、人要是累得整天没力气，就不会去乱想了。

20、人都是一样的，手伸进别人口袋里掏钱时那个眉开眼笑，轮到自己给钱了一个个都跟哭丧一样。
