1. Whatever you think
Think the opposite
Prepared & delivered by:
Mohammed Abbas

2. Hah….!!!
It’s the wrong way to think,
but the right way to win

3. • This presentation explains the
benefits of Making bad
decisions.
• It shows how risk is your
security in life.
• Why unreason is better than
reason.
• It’s about having the
confidence to roll the dice.

4. A flop

5. A flop
• Until 1968 the Olympic record for
the high jump was 5,8 ft.
• With different thinking in new
jumping style he made a new
record of high jump with 7,4 ft.
• He jumped higher than anyone
else by thinking the opposite.
• Dick fosbury proves that the
opposite technique in thinking
became a technique for jumping,
turning a flop into success

6. Photographing a flower
• How many thousands of
beautiful photos you have
seen before for pretty flower
pictures?
• How you can make the picture
memorable for others?
• In 1930s Andre kertesz took a
picture for a wilted Tulip, it was
impossible to forget.
• The famous photographer in
England Adrian have a
popular photo by showing the
vase, not the flower
They are all the wrong way to answer the brief,
and they are all a beautiful solution to the problem

7. When it’s Right, It Just Clicks
• In 1881 George Eastman, was a
junior clerk left his safe job in a
local bank to start a
photographer company.
• 7yrs later he changed the
name to (Kodak),it was weird
but he took the risk.
• His reasons for the name was
short & mispronunciation.
• Entrepreneurs only who can do
that.

8. Braille

9. Don’t Touch
This is a painting with braille embossed the braille reads
(Don’t touch),
yet the only way to know that is by touching it ,
really a great example of thinking the opposite.

10. Trapped

11. Trapped
• It’s not because you are
making the wrong decisions.
• It’s because you are making
the right ones.
• We try to make sensible
decisions based on the facts
in front of us.
• The problem with making
sensible decisions is that so is
everyone else do.

13. I wish
• I wish means:
wouldn’t be nice if ..
“you always make the right
decisions, the safe ones, the one
most people make,
“you will be the same as everyone else”
Always wishing life to be different.

14. I want
• I want means:
if I want it enough I will get it.
• Getting what you want means making
the decisions you need to make to get
what you want.
• Making the safe decisions is very
predictable and leads nowhere new.
• The unsafe decisions causes you to think
and respond in a way you hadn’t
thought of.
• That thought will lead you to other
thoughts which will help you achieve
what you want.
• Start taking bad decision, will take you to
a place others only dream of being.

15. Regret

16. Regret
• It’s better to regret what you
have done, than what you
haven’t.
(Keep trying)
• People reach 40yrs old and
they feel that they are missing
their life, they had everything
going for them ,
And when the challenge tossed in
their way they lacked the courage
to pick it up.

17. Find a way
• You can’t afford the house of
your dreams, that's why it is the
house of your dreams.
• So either find a way of getting
it( BTW,you’ll find the suitable
means),
or be satisfied with dissatisfaction.

18. Decisions

19. Decisions
• When you look back, there will
be things you will regret for.
• Maybe you made the wrong
decision  wrong.
• Maybe you made the right
decision  .
• Life is about decisions.
• So whatever decision you make
,you are only one you could
make.
• Otherwise you would make a
different one.
• Everything we do ,we choose.
• You are the person you choose
to be.

20. The raw material of you
• This Baby can make his/r body
anything s/he wants it to be.
• What this baby wants, s/he will
get.
• But s/he has to want it enough to
go about getting it.
• Dreaming and talking about it
won't achieve anything.
• There is only one person who can
determine the shape of your life.
Is (you)
Who are you going to be ?

21. Think Different
(Saatchi & Saatchi)

22. Over the Top

23. Over the top
by think Different
• When the Berlin wall was due
to come down, a junior
executive of a certain
advertising agency came
with an idea for pasting a
poster on the other side of
the wall,
• He did it, and it made
worldwide news.
• Only the best ones do.

24. Every body needs one of these
If you want to know how your
life is going to turn out,
you just have to know where
you are heading ,
so set your goals first

25. Reach for the stars
If this is the level of your ambition, Try aiming higher.

26. Do it, then fix it…as you go
• Too many people
spent too much time
trying to perfect
something before they
actually do it.
• Instead of waiting for
perfection run with
what you have got,
and fix it as you go

27. A slap

28. Ask for a slap in the face
• If you show somebody a
piece of your work and you
ask them “what do you
think? "probably they will say
it’s ok.
• Next time instead of that ,
ask them “what’s wrong?”
• They may not say what you
want to hear but the
chances are they will give
you a truthful criticism are
much bigger.
• Truth some times hurts, but in
the long run it’s better than a
pat on the back

29. Take Charge

30. Take charge
• Be your own worst critic.
• When things goes wrong it’s
tempting to shift the blame
to some one else ,
please don’t.
• Accept responsibility. People
will appreciate it, and you
will find out what you are
capable of.

31. Be
Interesting
Be
interested

32. Listen Carefully
• In work environment or
an interview with others
,it’s better to listen
carefully for the other
part’ speech than to
put on a show of your
own brilliance.
• That way they will be
interested in you
without saying a word.

33. What’s Your Point of view ?

34. What’s your point of view
• Most people are other people.
• Their thoughts are someone else’s
opinions.
• There is a conventional point of view,
there is a personal point of view.
• There is a large point of view and
there is a small one.
• But there is no right or wrong one.
• It depends from which pole you are
looked at.
• Advances in any field are built upon
people with the small or personal
point of view.

35. Idea …..

36. Raise your idea up
• Ideas are a matter of taste.
• What is a good idea for some can be
bad or boring to others.
• If an idea is not taken up as a solution to
solve a problem it has no value.
• Lying in drawers is useless.
• Ides have to be applied before be
considered as a good one or not.
• Even bad idea executed is better than a
good idea undone.
• The longer is used, the better idea is
considered to be.
• That’s why the wheel is considered as the
best idea ever.

37. Steal
• Steal from anywhere to resonates
with inspiration or fuels your
imagination.
• Films,music,books,stars,clouds,trees
,street signs,websites,light and
shadows.
• Steal only things that are speak
directly to your soul.
• Authenticity is invaluable.
• Originality is non-existent.
The famous scientific :
Jun loc Godard said
“ it’s not where you take things from,
it's where you take things to”

38. Don’t stay too Much in one job
(Resign)
• If people constantly reject your
ideas or what you have to offer
a lot, resign.
• You can’t keep fighting and
losing, that makes you a
problem to others.
• If you are good an they want
you, your resignation will not be
accepted.
• If they accept that means you
were in the wrong job, and it’s
better to move for another one
when you have the chance to
do that.

39. Don’t stay too Much in one job
(fired)
• If you got fired one day, since you
had no other choice but to
accept it, you might look at it as a
good thing.
• You will have to arrange your life
differently.
• You hated your situation anyway.
• You must begin again.
• It’s a wonderful opportunity for
you.

40. Number 2
• Churchill said that when you
are at the top you only have
to think about policies.
• When you are number two
you have to think about
what your boss thinking.
• So start your own company,
then you can have control
of your own destiny, it makes
you number one from the
start.
