I was heading for my FYP presentation yesterday morning and was busy munching on assorted fruits. I was just in a mood to finish and the only thing that stood between me and an empty fruit cup was a pineapple piece. I had quickly gulped everything else down of course..
Now, it was a rather big piece and I tried to cut it and attacked it with vigor – only for it to become threateningly messy with all the thin string like things threatening to get stuck between my teeth..
So, I aborted that.. and paused for a moment. I then realized that there is a specific way to cut a pineapple and consciously tried to cut it along the line.. and voila, it came apart beautifully.. and I had finished my fruit cup and my quota for fruit in a day! (We’ll come to this when I write about the R15 system later..)
Every thing that nature has created has a specific way of use, a method. And every little thing has its own unique requirements. It is the same with people – everyone has a different trigger for them to open to us and be themselves..
The big question is – are we aware that brute force alone can never solve a problem? Are we ready to stop, think and understand the person/pineapple/problem before trying to solve it..

Big one for me to keep in mind. :)
