Wittgenstein’s Rabbit

Hi everyone

Now, I’m not making fun at you today or playing any tricks with you all either, but just take a look at the picture below and tell me what’s the first thing you see?

I’m guessing most of you would say it’s a rabbit, however the funny thing is this, take a look at the picture again but instead tile your head 45 degrees angle to your right hand side… notice anything different? Doesn’t it look like a duck as well? You see, it’s called a Wittgenstein’s Rabbit and about looking at something from a different angle. Because when you do, it sheds a whole new light on it.

No matter if it’s a funny cartoon brain trickery drawing, a book, a magazine, a car, or even a an business opportunity, it always pays to take another look, obviously from another angle or perspective. The key is that by stepping back and looking at something from various angles, and as much as we may miss obvious errors and possibly the chance to improve something for the better, we may sometimes completely miss the opportunity by already placing a biased image,comment, decision in our mind.

So it definitely pays to take your time, to consider things fully, observe things from all angles and perspective and certainly don’t judge things upon first impressions. Partly because if you do, you could miss out on something truly great and spectacular. I know I did, have, been there and done that, I do regret about them, not for long though, and then I move on. No point fretting about something when it has already happened

Anyway as they say, if you only look for a rabbit, then that’s all your going to ever see and get.

Until next time, have a wonderful day!

Nigel
