I have been writing about the MAPP course and the following stands out as something I think is very important. It is adapted from a saying a friend from college told me. Then as now it seemed full of wisdom although at the time I could articulate why but below I attempt to.
Questions
are not directly related to answers:
Frogs in a bucket –
Two frogs fell in a bucket of milk. One couldn't see a solution for how to
get out and slowly sank to the bottom. The other one swam round and round
contemplating how to solve the problem of hopping out of the milk. By the
morning that frog's swimming round and round had churned the milk into butter
and he was able to hop out of the bucket.
What is significant is that there was no answer to the
question how to hop out of the milk but the activity of contemplating the
question became the activity of change that moved the frog on. This is because
sometimes a question manifests a paradigm shift not a direct answer.
Also have a look at my BAPP post for this week:
