That’s one of my favorite quotes – and it’s so true. My college son forwarded me one of the funniest emails I’ve received in a long time today. It’s about failing a test with dignity – but I’d call it failing a test with creativity. I included one of the images from the email here. This question asks if the object will continue to move after it comes to a rest? If yes, how high will it go up the slope? A complex math problem. Stumped, the student could have left the answer blank. Instead, he wrote: “No. There is an elephant in the way.” And drew an elephant. Creative.
It made me think: have you overcome an objection or challenge with creativity lately? Give it a try. Even though the elephant artist didn’t get a point, at least he didn’t leave it blank!
