I have just read this article from 
This little behaviour you can learn in no time if you want will multiply your creative and processive abilities. - Ok, but what is this?
The ability that you can see and use similarities from one field in another.
For example one day you could notice that driving a business is similar to driving a car. You have a big thing to control, you have some kind of dashboard and some pedals,wheel and other things. If you look at this analogy you will find it interesting and you will implement a better dashboard in your business too, the one that is important to go where you want to be.
Or look at muscle gains. If you work on your muscles they will grow, if you don't they will shrink. What is the analogy here? Think about any bodily function and you will see similarities. You learn something new? Your nerves just got a bit better connected. But if you don't use that new knowledge they will separate and you will forget sooner or later.
And not just in your body. Think about society, relationships too. They all work the same and you can make them work better if you use the analogy.
This is the analogy mindset. Use it or don't. It will have its results.
