Explanation

Thinking is like a game, it does not begin until there is an opposite team.

Meaning

·         Thinking is a bit like playing a game. But, it only really gets started when you have something challenging or opposing your ideas. This challenge can push your thinking to be more creative and effective, just like how an opposing team makes a game more exciting.

·         The presence of an opposite team or opposing viewpoints often adds depth and complexity to both activities, making them more stimulating and challenging. In the case of thinking, engaging with differing perspectives can lead to more well-rounded and informed conclusions.

Instead, they find a balance between these two ways of deciding things. This helps them make decisions that are both creative and practical, which can lead to groundbreaking and forward-looking results.
