Funny Holidays - Day of Out-of-the-Box Thinkers

A non-standard approach to solving any problems, from mathematical to life, and creativity are highly valued in the modern world. People who are distinguished by this set of qualities use various methods and non-trivial combinations of methods to achieve their goals. March 9th is the Day of Out-of-the-box thinkers who come out of any, even the most confusing and difficult situation with honor. They boldly go beyond the boundaries and break the mold, giving the world scientific discoveries and inventions. In honor of the holiday, contests and competitions are held to solve mathematical or chess problems. The winner must not only quickly complete the task, but also demonstrate his creative thinking. It is characteristic, contrary to prejudice, not only of scientists, but also of people whose profession requires a non-standard approach to the situation. This includes a manager who figures out how best to promote a service or sell a product on the market, and an accountant who saves money for the company thanks to the ability to look at the situation from a different angle. The Day of Unconventional Thinkers is a hymn to improvisation (the ability to introduce an element of creativity into a routine) and synesthesia (the ability to transfer sensations from one modality to another). This property is inherent in young children. Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Mozart saw music in color. Pythagoras and his students described vibrations of different lengths that arise when the strings of a harp sound using physical equations. Creativity is an expanded focus of attention: the ability to simultaneously cover several areas of life. Thinking outside the box expands horizons and changes worldviews. Thanks to this ability, it’s easy to turn from a pessimist into an optimist, because it turns out that any task or problem has a solution! Creativity is closely related to curiosity. Therefore, it can be argued that a non-standard approach broadens a person’s horizons, allowing him to acquire knowledge that he did not have before the occurrence of a specific situation. According to the observation of contemporaries, Einstein, who, by the way, did not study well at school, seemed to be in another dimension all the time. He mastered synesthesia, arguing that inspiration is more important than knowledge. Although, without a sufficient level of intelligence, it is difficult to demonstrate a non-trivial approach to solving a problem. Scientists say that to increase creativity it is necessary to develop the right hemisphere, which is responsible for creative thinking. The horizons of consciousness and the abilities of the human brain are not fully understood. Therefore, each of us has the right to consider ourselves a genius and a master of a creative approach to life, because by and large, standard (equally thinking) people do not exist in nature. Therefore, the holiday, which falls on March 9, can be celebrated by anyone. Have you uncorked a bottle of wine closed with a plastic cap without a knife, heating it with the flame of a match? Great. It turns out that you are a resourceful and smart person who did not skip physics classes at school. This means the Day of Out-of-the-Box Thinkers is your holiday.
