Episode 1 : Preference 

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.

今日は、レストランの会話についてご紹介します。						
みなさんは、レストランで注文が終わったときに、店員さんが						
「ご注文の品は以上でよろしいでしょうか」
（ごちゅうもの　しなは　いじょうで　よろしい　でしょうか）			
と言うのを聞いたことがありますか。	

レストランでは、まず、お客さまが食べたいものや飲みたいものを注文した後に、						
店員さんは注文を繰り返します。						
そして最後に、注文に間違いないかを確認します。						
その時に「ご注文の品は以上でよろしいでしょうか」と聞かれます。						
						
今のところ注文は他にないけれど後でまた注文するかもしれないというときには、 						
注文の最後に「とりあえず以上でお願いします」と日本人はよく言います。												
												
マクドナルドなどのお店では、注文のときに、						
「こちらでお召し上がりですか、お持ち帰りですか」と店員さんに聞かれます。						
答えるときは、お店で食べる場合は「ここで食べます」
持ち帰る場合は、	「お持ち帰りでお願いします」と言えば、大丈夫です。						
										
また、海外では、レストランで食べ残したものを持ち帰る習慣がありますが、日本ではあまりしません。						
もし、持ち帰りたい場合は、「お持ち帰りできますか」と聞いてみましょう。						
						
ご注文の品は以上でよろしいでしょうか　Is that everything？Does that complete your order？
とりあえず、以上でお願いします。　　　That's all for now.
こちらでお召し上がりですか、お持ち帰りですか　　　　Is this for here, or to go?
お持ち帰りできますか　　　　　　　　　Do you do take-out?

Mi persona favorita, mi abuela

“I love watching the World Cup, which is without doubt the biggest and most exciting international football tournament in the world today. Every four years, it brings the world together in a celebration of the beautiful game. Every time the World Cup rolls around, it's like a huge party!

I especially enjoy the opening match between the host nation and the defending champions. It's always an emotional, high-stakes encounter that sets the tone for the tournament. As the games go on, the intensity builds, and it's so exciting to watch the best teams in the world battle it out for the cup.

When I watch the World Cup, I'm usually with my family. We get together to watch the big games, and it's a great excuse to spend some quality time together. We all love football, so it's a great way to bond over something we all enjoy. Plus, it's always fun to debate and discuss the games afterwards.

I think my favourite thing about the World Cup is the atmosphere. It's a truly global event, and it's so cool to see people from all over the world coming together in one place to enjoy the sport. It's a great feeling of unity, and it really brings out the best in people.

As well as that,the games are always thrilling, the atmosphere is electric, and spending time with my family, and friends while watching is always a blast. 


Thank you.”
