What do you see?
A MOUSE? AN OLD MAN?
There is often more than one way to look at something…
PARADIPARADIGMSGMS(pair-a-dimes)(pair-a-dimes)“A paradigm is the way you see something, your
point of view, frame of reference, or belief.” Sean Covey
In your copy of The 7 Habits, read the quotes on pgs. 11 & 12.
Think about how different paradigms affect the way we view things.
QUESTION• If you just bought a new computer with many different parts and wires and had to hook it up… what would you need to get it running properly?
• What if your computer came with the instructions for a different model but you didn’t know it?
• Would it make a difference if you worked harder?
• What if you changed your attitude and tried to think positively?
A PARADIGM SHIFTA PARADIGM SHIFT
• Sometimes the way we look at a situation is like looking at a wrong set of instructions.
• Often we need to consider changing the way we look at something… • …consider a different perspective… • …reconsider our point of view.
•We need to SHIFT our PARADIGMS.
