25 de octubre

In this episode you will learn the word " สมมุติ" ( what if / suppose / supposing)  as you here some part of the lyric

..............."ถ้าสมมุติว่าเธอ ไม่ได้เจอเขาก่อน เธอชอบฉันแน่นอนฉันมั่นใจ
               ก่อนที่เขาจะชอบเธอ อยากให้ลองคิดใหม่ อีกทีได้ไหม คิดอีกที 
               ถ้าไม่นับเรื่องนี้ ที่เธอชอบเขาอยู่ ฉันว่าเราก็ดูเข้ากันเธอว่าไหม 
               ถ้าไม่นับเรื่องนั้น ฉันให้คิดดูใหม่ แกล้งลืม ๆ ว่าเธอชอบเขาไป
               เราก็เป็นแฟนกันได้เธอว่าเปล่า"
               สมมุติว่าเธอไม่ได้ชอบเขา แล้วเราจะเป็นได้มากกว่านี้ไหม 
               สมมุติว่าใจเธอยังไม่มีใคร เป็นฉันได้ไหม'..............................

สมมุติว่า = Suppose / supposing that
สมมุติว่าผมถูกล็อตเตอรี่หกสิบล้านบาท ผมจะสร้างบ้านหลังใหญ่
(Supposing that I won lottery 60 millions Baht, I would build a big house.)

I'm talking about the radio calisthenics that every Japanese knows. We have been used to it since we were children. How did we do it when at that time...and how are we doing now...? In addition, I'm talking about when it started being broadcast. Thank you.

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.
