When you hear of the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein would most probably come to your mind. No theory of relativity is complete without the utter mention of his name. But I won’t be talking about his Theory of Relativity. I’ll be talking about mine.

When I was much much younger, probably during elementary, I heard the theory of relativity from somewhere or someone. Being the inquisitive kid that I was, I researched more about it and came to the phrase – everything is relative. In terms of the real theory of relativity, this refers to how an observers sees things around him/her depending on his speed and displacement (or his point of reference). However, I brought this phrase to another level. I took the word ‘everything’ to literally mean everything.

So how is everything relative? How does my theory of relativity work? Let us take an example. We need to take two of anything for this to work. Say playing basketball and writing a blog post. How are they relative? I see a lot of relativities between the two. For one, when shooting a basketball, you need focus, strength and accuracy. The same can be said about writing blog posts, you need focus, strength and accuracy to be able to ’shoot’ and reach your audiences’ attention and heart.

Let’s go into detail. For a basketball low post move to be successful and to be able to shoot the ball, a player needs good footwork and body strength. A player can back down on his opponent to get nearer the rim, do a dream shake move to trick his opponent and lose him, drop step as a power move to accelerate and dunk to put the ball in. The same can be said with writing a blog post. Your audience is the ‘oppenent’ as they won’t believe a word you say unless you convince them. You could ‘back down’ on your audiences by tackling each and every problem and desire they have. You do a ‘dream shake’ by writing something that is too hard not to believe in and ignore. You ‘drop step for acceleration’ by presenting more convincing arguments that they cannot refute and at last you ‘dunk the ball’ by hard-selling your point into your audiences’ minds and hearts that would leave them nodding their heads in agreement.

So you see basically, my theory of relativity is another way of creating illustrations. In short, you can create illustrations of any two objects for comparison.

This begs the question, how useful is my theory of relativity? Does it solve scientific questions like Einstein’s theory of relativity did? No, mine does not. But it does help you think out of the box when you are stuck with a problem. It might give you creative ways of solving a problem (as it did for me many times past…).

Let’s take an example of a simple problem and relate it to anything I could think of. Let us use the problem of being stuck in a traffic jam and the game of chess. Being stuck in a traffic jam is a problem (at least for me) since you won’t be able to get to your point of destination in the amount of time you normally would. So how do you relate this to chess and solve your problem? In chess, there are numerous ways of removing ‘traffic jams’. One is by simplifying using your pawns. You can eat the opponent’s pawns by equal exchanges. You could also go sideways if the middle of the chess board is ‘jammed’ (too equalized control of the center). So if that is the case, you could go sideways by channeling your pieces via the sideboard (not outside LOL).

The same can be said with traffic jams. You could ’simplify’ or power your way out by ‘eating’ or going forward as quickly as possible, beating other cars to empty spots every time the flow of traffic moves to create small empty spaces. This is clearly seen in the Philippines. Another way is by going ’sideways’. Instead of going forward, you could go ’sideways’ by taking other roads which is probably a longcut but nevertheless free of traffic jams.

These are just simple ways to use my theory of relativity. It would sound very geeky to those of you who think mainstream but for those who think outside the box, here is another way for you to think, another paradigm shift your could try out for yourselves.
