Conventional thinking often leads to wrong choices and decisions

◇ Conventional thinking often leads to wrong choices and decisions. For example,

A teacher told an interesting story to the students. 

A speech-impaired man who came to the hardware store to buy a nail beckoned the waiter. After making gestures like holding a nail in the left hand and a hammer in the right hand, he struck the left hand with his right hand. 

The speech-impaired man shook his head when the waiter brought him a hammer. The waiter brought the nail and only then left with the money. 

At this time, a blind man came into the store to buy scissors. asked the teacher.

"How can this blind man buy scissors?"

One student answered.

"You can have your hands shaped like scissors."

The teacher said with a smile as the other students nodded.

"You're all wrong. Just give me the scissors for the blind.'
