There is nothing spectacular about observing an apple dropping to the ground. However, if you are an ant which happens to be resting on that particular apple at that fateful moment, you will be seeing from a completely different perspective of the same event. You will be witnessing the Earth falling onto the apple. Unfortunately you will not live to tell that epoch-making event.
Joke aside, the message is about looking from different perspectives to get a bigger picture and have a more thorough understanding of a certain thing. If we are more willing to look from different perspectives, from the point view of other people and explore from more angles, we should be able to have a better understanding of a certain event or situation.
Critical and creative thinking skills that are being highlighted so frequently should be able to help pupils to think more skillfully-- provided it is the training and not the parroting that is going on.

Thoughts is the root of all causes.
Thoughts are sending out that magnetic signal that is drawing the parallel back! So, there must be a thinking process to tap the knowledge of universe.
In 1912 Charles Hannel described the law of attraction as "the greatest and most infallible law upon which the entire system of creation depends."
Yes, if there is a parallel thinking, there should be a relative thinking somewhere else!
