[ Two ]

A colleague friend of mine doesn’t like the either/or scenario of two. When creating new idea or considering possible solutions, he always encourages thinking beyond not just the first one, but the second one as well, aiming for three.

It’s a strategy that has helped bring out the best idea or solution, being that third one.  Two just isn’t enough. A third breaks the tie, breaking open something completely new.

That third thing is usually a stretch.  It’s like the last few reps with a heavier weight.  Pushing through past the two and into threes is where the results are.
