Transparency

“We had better share our bewilderments. By hiding them from each other we should not hide them from ourselves.”
― C.S. Lewis,

Artist Pascal Chesneau won the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation 2014 Wildlife Artist of the Year award for his stunning Transparence Elephant sculpture.

Three ways I interpret this art work:

• An elephant in the room
• The vanishing animal
• Endangered species

It’s no big surprise that he won the award not just his artistic ability and it’s an excellent conversational piece with so many meanings.

What does this mean to you?
What emotions arises from you?
What are you hiding?

How’s your mental state…

This test is to ascertain your mental state now.

 

If you get one right you are doing ok if you get none right you better go for counselling.

 

Giraffe Test

There are 4 questions. Don’t miss one.

 

1.  How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Stop  and think about it and decide on your answer  before you scroll  down.

The  correct answer is:

Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. 

This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. 

2.  How do you put an elephant into a  refrigerator?

Did  you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the  elephant, and close the  refrigerator?

Wrong  Answer.

Correct Answer:

Open  the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in  the elephant and close the door.

 

This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of  your previous  actions..

3.  The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.  All the animals Attend  …. Except one.  

Which animal does not  attend?

 Correct  Answer :

The Elephant. The elephant is in the  refrigerator. You just put him in there.  

 

This tests your memory..

 Okay, even if you  did not answer the first three questions  correctly, you still have one more chance to  show your true  abilities.

 4.  There is a river you must cross but it is used  by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat.  How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across.

Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. 

 

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90%  of the Professionals  they tested got all questions wrong, but many  preschoolers got several correct answers.   Anderson Consulting says this conclusively proves the theory that most professionals do not have the brains of a  four-year-old.  

This is out to frustrate all of your smart  friends.. 

PS: Just the fact that I sent  it to you should make you feel  good.
