Look at the picture, what do you see?

1 , some people say it’s an old

man, while others say it’s a young woman and an

old 2 . It is a problem with many

answers. Why?

When you look at a problem from different

views, you get different answers. Just turn it in

your mind 3 bit, and you may see it

in a completely new way.

Some people only form an idea in their mind

“A problem has only one answer, and all the 4 are wrong.”

Some even laugh at the different answers others come up with. Well, they’re

wrong! If people only believed in one answer, we might still think the world

is square(方形的)!

What’s one plus one? That’s easy, two! Right? Well, that’s one right

answer, but not the only answer. You might think of 11, or some

5 characters like “二” or “十”! What’s a mom plus a dad? You

might think of two people, or a man and a woman, or a whole family! So,

even the 6 questions can have many answers.

Of course, some problems do only have one answer. If each of the

questions in a math test had 7 than one answer, it would be

quite a problem for teachers 8 .

Look at things in different ways, face your life with a 9

mind, and you’ll see a completely different world.

After reading my article, if I ask you again: “What do you see in this

picture?”, will you still give the same answer now? I’m sure this picture will

be 10 to you.
