Golden Oldie
By the time the average person finishes college he or she will have taken
over 2,600 tests, quizzes and exams. The 'right answer' approach becomes
deeply ingrained in our thinking. This may be fine for some mathematical
problems, where there is in fact only one right answer. The difficulty is
that most of life isn't that way. Life is ambiguous; there are many right
answers - all depending on what you are looking for. But when we think
that there is only one right answer, we'll stop looking as soon as we find
one.
