Wide Angle Vision

A closed up view allows more minute details to be observed. This is an advantage when  micro work is concerned. However in our daily mundane life, looking at  micro details of everything is not sufficient, we must learn to look at the macro details. Micro details only provide limited representation while the full or wide angled pictorial vision provide the whole representation of problems, happenings and possible corrective actions. 

If you are a particular department head, the situation in your department is known to you but you do not know much of other departments. The Chief Executive Officer who oversees all the departments in the group will be able to see the overall situation of the whole company. Only through constant meetings, coordinations and updates will let all the department heads know the company's targeted plans and progress. If you are holding a low position in a section of a department, you know your work well but do not know much of what is going on in your whole department.

If you are involved in a situation which is difficult to solve, close your eyes. This is a mental method. Let your mind move out from your present state. Focus your  mind with a pictorial view of the whole situation; environment, all the happenings and people that are involved. It will be like you are standing outside your house, office or company looking at your working environment. Relax and meditate by bringing your mind to a calm state. You may begin to 'see' what is going wrong and possible solutions may come in bits and pieces. You will 'understand' the whole problem and able to apply the solutions.

The physical method is to stand outside the environment you are in or having  problems to tackle. Stand or sit calmly at a short distance away and look at the whole space. Observe the working attitude of your staff and how the works are being carried out. Why does a particular staff always report in sick? Objects and empty spaces begin to 'talk' to you. It may be the problems with bad geomancy...

Repeat these methods until you are able to find the solution you wanted.
