Audrey and Chris keep telling me: "1+1=3"
Since I arrived to do my internship at here at the wealth centre, Audrey and Chris kept throwing the equation 1+1=3 to me.
I didn't understand it for about 2 days and then after much confused looks, Chris finally revealed his thought process once again.
"We are taught to be analytical" He said "From a very early age, we go to school and we are taught maths, routines and schedules."
This is true. (Refer to my experience about asking questions)
"And so, when I tell people 1+1=3 their natural thinking is to analyse it as an equation- very linear and never with any imagination."
Alright, I thought.
"People that do well in business" continued Chris "Are able to change their normal way of thinking from reality into imagination."
"Ok- so how do they do that?" I asked.
"Well because they have imagination you see, they are able to understand the equation easily." Chris replied.
"What's an example?" I asked.
"Remember that meeting we had with Robin?" He said
"Robin is considered as number "1". He is trying to get his company up and and running so he came here to the wealth centre for help.
We are also considered number "1" because we are running a company too but we could also benefit from Robins product and expertise.
The difference between smart workers and hard workers is collaboration. Instead of just keeping it one sided- make it two way." Explained Chris.
"1+1= 3" I said, finally getting it.
"Yes, using their imagination." Replied Chris.
