Definition of thinking
Thinking is the aspect of manipulating one’s mind to generate ideas about particular issues in order to arrive at a meaningful decision (Sherri 4).
How to deal with the issues of pens as a bank manager
If I were the bank manager, I would take the three-fold stand of looking at the situation, and then render the best way to go about the issue. The first position would be to think as a client. What would I feel if the bank suspects me to be stealing a pen? In a bid to answer this question, I would imagine that the bank is so mean and harsh. The second question as a client would investigate what I would feel if I get to the bank and fail to get a pen to fill my vouchers, just because some lousy people have stolen them. My response would be cowed with the bad feeling and disappointment. The third position would be that of a third party, who is not a banker or a client, but understands the two standpoints from the two reasoning beings. It would be incorrigibly true that tying the pens would be the best option. This is due to the fact that the client feeling of being labeled a thief cannot compare to the pain and disappointment he or she would go through when the pen is not there. I would therefore encourage the idea of tying the pens to avoid theft.
How to handle the solution of the bike
The thief persists in order to steal the bike. However, what is interesting is that he or she devices ways of stealing the bike yet has never succeeded. If he would be cutting the chains and has managed to escape with the bike, then the issue of coming up with the best method to tame him or her would be meaningless. Moreover one should not use the same way of doing things, failing every time and continue with it. If the chaining is not working, I would install a sensitive alarm that if anybody tries to move the bike, then the sound alerts everybody until I put it off using a password known only to me. The password should be unique to me and be controlled by the key I use to lock-up the bike.
How to solve the problem of the garage
Using a sticker that someone can pluck without my knowledge is the most inconveniencing thing. The stickers should be produced in multiples so that the owner has one, another piece remains in the office and the other to be pinned on the car. This makes it easy for the two parties to avoid the instances of confusion even someone claiming the car that is not his or hers.
The problem of parking meters
The idea of parking meters and placing someone responsible for the meter reading is cumbersome. The world is revolutionized with the technological advancements. The new system should develop a computer networked digital cameras that would monitor and record the information about every car and indicate the time it took in the parking.
The idea of parking
The idea of setting meters is a low value approach. This is due to the fact that it breads the traditional way of doing things. I would recommend that the parking management should be innovative and exploit computer applications in managing their parking zones. For instance every parking zone should be fitted with a digital camera that monitors every car then records the time take in to the computer server. The management can then use such information to trail their subjects.
The answer to the question of the dishes broken

Dishes broken

Assume 3 washers at 1.5 hours = 2 (3/1.5)
Therefore, the total number of dishes broken will be 48 (24 multiply by 2)
Why the car rentals remove the car manuals
Car rentals removed car manuals because they had a predetermined idea that every driver is competent and hence doesn’t need it.
