Testing You (Me)..

Come on, let me test you on your analytical skills.
Look at the picture below. Look carefully please.



~ ~ The Bus ~ ~

The bus has just stopped to let some passengers alight. It is about to set off (by moving forward) to the next destination. You are to decide whether the bus is moving to the right or moving to the left.

You have 10 seconds.

Answer ( use your mouse to highlight the region after " : " ) : Right.

Background / Explanation
(
use your mouse to highlight the region after " : " ) :

Pre-school children were asked the following question :
"In which direction is the bus pictured below travelling?"

The pre-schoolers all answered "right".

When asked, "Why do you think the bus is travelling in the right direction?"

They answered, "Because you can't see the door."

How are you feeling about reading the background / explanation? Haha..

Perhaps, this is not a test of our so-called analytical skills, but a test of how complicated we have all become over the years of so-called growing and learning?

Maybe, when we are ever on a crossroad again or when we somehow fell into a dilemma, we may relax and ask ourselves whether we are already thinking in a far-too-complicated fashion.


~ ~ That Innocent Look ~ ~

是不是天真,我们的烦恼就会少一点?
是不是无邪,我们的思绪才会有条理?

成长的旅途,应该有不少经验的累积。
然而细察之,咱究竟累积了什么经验?

欲无后悔先修己,各有前因莫羡人。

It is not diffilcult making something simple into something complicated...
In fact, the Art of life lies in making something complicated into something simple... Just like Maths! :)
