The Wave-Based Strategies

The Wave-Based Strategies

b6f83b06.jpg


Do strategic thinking and poetry have a meeting point, or are they an ocean apart from each other? My eyes fell on a poem by Franci Eugenia Hoffman on bee titled "Clouds of Time" and the picture of molecular clouds jumped in my head. Is there a similarity between clouds of time and clouds of molecules? As soon as I started reading the opening lines of the poem:

You know, it wasn’t that long ago

Clouds of time scattered your mind

Life, indeed, not tied with a bow

There were the highs and also the lows

I found my thinking scattered. Time is like a wave with highs and lows. It is at this point the poem scattered my mind and I am trying to focus them again. Waves have series of troughs with each trough followed by a crest. Waves are phenomenal and have many hidden secrets. Birds use them to navigate their migration when flying over the sea. More stunning may be is the findings that flying birds don't follow a leader or the neighboring birds; instead, they anticipate sudden changes in the flock’s direction of motion zoologist Wayne Potts who first published on this observation added "once a change in direction begins in the flock, it then “spreads through the flock in a wave.” Birds follow sea waves and make their own waves while flying. Waves are everywhere. Birds follow them and make them. The propagation of this manoeuvre wave, as he called it, begins relatively slowly but can reach speeds three times faster than would be possible if birds were simply reacting to their immediate neighbors. Potts called this ability among flocking birds the chorus line hypothesis.

Life is about waves. Birds travel in waves. The stock markets move in waves. Our breath pattern is wave-like. Sound and light travel in waves. Molecules create waves. Water moves in waves and these are just few examples. The question that jumped to my mind is do we need strategies that move in waves and how? To answer these questions we need I searched other forms of flying and the two relevant examples I found are the Albatrosses and pelicans and how they fly. White pelicans, like turkey vultures, rise up on thermals (pillows of hot air), wheeling around in great circles–up, up, up. Then they drop, floating downward–losing altitude while gaining distance. Pelicans also take advantage of strong winds and wave action by a flight strategy called dynamic soaring. Actually, the true masters of this are albatrosses, which can fly for days without flapping. These birds take advantage of the slight air pressure differences created by rising and falling waves. They rise against the air backed up by the wave crest and then drop down again. Life moves in waves and when we feel desperate and fall in the trough we should remember it is this trough that shall eventually push us up to the crest. We don't need to follow the crowd and remain authentic by moving against the wind and we don't even need flapping. I wonder what the flapping butterfly effect would disappear when we fly without flapping!

The clouds are colored. Birds feathers are colored even though some of them have no pigment. It is the reflection of light waves that gives the feathers some very interesting colors.

From the cloud waves that reflect a wide range of colors to the flying birds that fly against the wind and without flapping their wings to save energy we may develop new thinking strategies of different colors..

Maybe the key is finding out our inner waves and synchronising it with our surroundings. Just an idea.

We have a lot to learn from nature, and I find wonderful you always find a way to point it out for others' enhancement. A concept jumped into my mind when I was reading your post. Harmony. The key could be then, not only being aware that life moves in waves but as well, to harmonise our movements with them instead of going against them. As usual, a mind provoking post. My sword is yours.

I am overly joyful with your evaluation of the buzz and your grasping of its real meaning dear Sara Jacobovici. I invite people to ponder on brilliant observation "We are not wired to follow a particular pattern". Even in patterns we have choices. This is a hugely important finding and is worthy of building upon. I am deeply taken by your comment and I feel new thinking is on the verge.

Often when things are going well we talk about riding on the crest of a wave. For over sixty years the Scouts' Annual "Gang Shows" have included this song written especially for the shows by Ralph Reader. "We're riding along on the crest of the wave And the sun is in the sky All our eyes on the distant horizon Look out for passers-by We'll do the hailing While other ships around us are sailing We're riding along on the crest of a wave And the world is ours. This is the chorus. There are at least two verses, but traditionally the chorus is just sung twice in the shows.

I think this may be the first time I refer to a post of yours as "breathtaking" Ali Anani, but breathtaking it is. You have taken the concept of movement and added an important dimension to it with the form of a wave. One of the things which is striking to me is how you have magnificently described the flights of a number of different birds and how they form or handle their waves or interpret air or water waves. What I realized is that we humans have the ability to respond to different types of waves differently. We are not wired to follow a particular pattern. This eye-opener to our diversity in adaptation makes me more optimistic in experiencing my waves. Thank you Dr. Ali.

Great example John and I feel relaxed just hearing the river flower over the pebbles. Please share any more example that may cross your mind. Thank you again.

Me too Ali. Your remark re waves in the sand somehow made me think of the river flowing over pebbles creating little waves and the sounds that prompted the phrase by a babbling brook. One of my favourite places to be, particularly if I'm sitting in a shady nook alongside the stream. #14

Thank yo John Rylance- yes, two great examples of waves. These are fingerprints we see on sand. I like it. SUrely, this is a great example. As for the bombers, yes they are examples of waves, but what waves they are? I would rather enjoy the waves drawn in sand. I greatly appreciate your comment, John.

Fantastic post. Wave upon wave of imagery. As always your post set me thinking. In this case the part played by the wind in creating wave patterns i e in sand dunes, the snow, even the dust. The other image was of wartime and the wave upon wave of bombers on their way to targets or the infantrymen storming an emplacement. The positive and negative aspects of the energy created by wave patterns.

Sheer beauty your words are . I loved it all and I felt like I am riding a wave while reading it. Changes are waves- what a beautiful image this is! Equally I enjoyed your saying change causes waves that "move" us for lng times. When we go in a trough we may "spin out" of control and this is the challenge we face. I aimed my post to highlight this point. I enjoyed greatly your ending lines and in particular our failure to put on our thinking caps. Bravo for writing a great comment my friend.

More intriguing is your response Harvey Lloyd. I loved your comment and its sensibility. Like a wave I felt the flow of your comment. This part alone is worthy writing the buzz for me "If data or observation tells us that the trough is the beginning of something new why would we look upon the trough as a bad place to be and require assistance to get out"? Yes, a trough is not an easy place to be, but as you explained, it is the emerging from the trough that make success more valuable and enjoyable. Yes, we stay in a trough when we lose faith, persistence, creativity and endurance. we surf in waters that are wavy and we should understand that a trough is destined to be followed by a crest- unless we get drowned in the trough. Great comment which I enjoyed immensely.

I found the post interesting, especially as it applies to one of your final statements, "Life moves in waves and when we feel desperate and fall in the trough we should remember it is this trough that shall eventually push us up to the crest." I read a lot about the trough and "why" you are there, along with how to get out in five simple steps. In review of many of my own advancements and the writing of many successful entrepreneurs there is always a trough before the success. If data or observation tells us that the trough is the beginning of something new why would we look upon the trough as a bad place to be and require assistance to get out? I have learned to embrace the trough. It's not an easy place to be, it challenges our values, self esteem and confidence. Within the trough we forge a new steel of existence that on the other side we can move closer to success. One thing becomes clear when working with team members they are defending the wave top they think they are on or they are growing by finding the trough. They will either back up to the top of the previous wave or learn and adventure to the next wave. None of this can happen when we don't experience the trough. "Lo though i walk through the valley of death..." or trough, removing the question "if" we will walk through this valley (trough) many times, rather implying we will emerge different on the other side, if we choose. All surfers eventually lose the wave. Complaining about the trough will not find the next one you can ride. Intriguing as usual Ali Anani
