A paradigm is a standard, perspective, or set of ideas, a way of looking at something.
It’s no secret that we all don’t see things the same way.
For instance, upon first glance did you see a young woman or an older lady in the drawing above?
Not surprisingly, some people will instantly see an older woman, while others will see a substantially younger woman instead.
Who is right?
In this case, everybody is right because both women are in the picture.
Good reminder that in many situations, there are often no right or wrong answers, just personal preferences, perspectives and opinions.
Which woman did you see first?
I always see the young woman. I have a difficult time even finding the old woman. This is a great way to show different perspectives and have used it often in workshops.
I too, can readily see the young woman, and find the older woman to be more hidden! What a great visual to use in workshops and a fun way to see differing perspectives! 🙂
I always see the young woman first, only when I look harder I see the older one!
Me too! The young woman seems to be the predominant face to emerge from the drawing for most the people I’ve talked to about it! 🙂
