THINKING OUT OF THE BOX (3)
(3) Thinking out of the box
An engineer in a car manufacturing company designs a world class car. The owner is impressed with the outcome and praised him a lot.
While trying to bring out the car from the manufacturing area to the office they realised that the car is few inches taller than the entrance.
The engineer felt bad that he didn't notice this one before creating the car. The owner was worried about how to take it outside of the manufacturing area.
The painter said that they can bring out the car and there will be few scratches on top of the car that he will do the tinkering later on.
The engineer said that they can break the entrance and after taking the car out, they can cement it.
The owner was not convinced with any ideas and felt like it is a bad sign to break or scratch.
The watchman was watching all these drama and slowly approached the owner. He wanted to give them an idea on how to solve the problem.
They looked at the watchman with disdain asking what advice could he give that the experts could not give.
The watchman then told them that the car is only few inches taller than the entrance so if the tyres are deflated the height of the car could be adjusted and hence make it easy for the car to be taken out.
Everyone there was surprised and clapped their hands for him.
Moral
Do not approach problems from the expert's point of view only. There is always a layman's point that may provide needed solution.
