6 Thinking Hats

Green Hat

Recall back what I listened and learnt from the Critical thinking lecture in 16^th ogos 2010. During the class, Madam Aznur asked the students, “How could we get any information if the company refuses to reveal their information upon our request?” Nobody could answer lecturer’s question and all were stunned. Actually, I had thought of few ways on how to get the information from them such as having a business deal with them (buy the information from them) but I didn’t share this in the class. After that, Madam Aznur continued talking about her student who was doing her master. She requested the information from the company but got turned down . Therefore, she thought of her own way to overcome the problem. She used Facebook to do online survey. It was one of the faster ways to gain information from the public. Her survey only targeted at some specific groups in Facebook which could help her with the research project. She wanted to know how many customers are using internet to purchase their book from MPH. Her target groups, which are members of MPH group, were given clear instruction for the survey to avoid any redundancy. I conclude that she must be wearing green hat which mean growth of creative thinking while she was coming out with ideas how to obtain information.

Yellow Hat

SPM reminds everyone of secondary school. The form 5 students especially go through it to proceed to the next level of their studies or life. When the results are released, some cry while some rejoice. Students who achieve flying colour brim with happiness because their efforts are finally paid off. Students do not achieve excellence regret of how little effort they have put in. I believe that the results depend on how much effort one puts into it.

 I was the 2008 year SPM batch student and unfortunately I belong to the groups of students who mourn over their results. I did not manage to reach my target but I remain optimistic about it. I thought that the failure did not mean I could not success in the future. I still had to face different challenges greater than this. My advice to all form 5 students:  don’t be upset just because your results aren’t as good as others. We must wear the yellow hat all the time. Think positively whenever life gives you a lemon.
