“Colour the duck yellow, and her umbrella green,” instructed the kindergarten teacher to her students.
But when six-year old Kavya handed her drawing sheet, the teacher asked, “Dear, didn’t you understand my instructions?
You have coloured the duck purple and her umbrella red! Have you ever seen a purple duck?”
Kavya didn’t miss a beat, and replied, “But ma’am, I’ve also never seen a duck carrying an umbrella.”
Is Kavya a young rebel?
She might not be the model student. But she definitely is a brilliant thinker.
Following some rules is absolutely necessary for us – like while driving, crossing the street, or paying our taxes.
But always being consistent will not provide a creative solution to all our problems.
We need to train our brains to look around at all possibilities.
We don’t need to always follow the leader.
We sometimes need to ‘be’ the leader.
What do you say?
