To be real successful in our undertakings, we must be able to see the big picture. Only when we see the whole picture of puzzle in front of us, we are in a better position to manage, control, lead and solve whatsoever obstacles or challenges ahead with easier solutions or paths.
So..at times, we may have thought that we saw the big picture but then...it may only be small portion of a bigger picture. Not only we need to see the overall perspective the true picture, we must also be able to share or lead our team workers to see the same as if not, the outcome will not be as desirable as we wish and it may also lead to disastrous result.
Well, like the jig saw puzzle..we may only see bits and pieces of the big picture. At young, we could do the try and error tactic as we try to form the picture. As we progressed on, we have learnt the art and skills to be quick to summarise the whole picture and how best things can be managed and observed from a deep look... from a distance ?
Luck may play a part, I guess...as sometime one may be at greater difficulty if he or she happen to only see the blue piece like the above jig saw puzzle when compared to others who may have the piece of the cat's head. But truly,...with experiences, we manage this challenge well and even better if we can learn to complement each other by sharing the information perceived on the big picture through a more effective and efficient way, saving unnecessary hussles or waste of time or resources especially frustrations among members when things get rough.
The process of learning this formation of big picture is important in one's learning of leadership and teamwork. It is a life long learning process...as if we compare it to the process of solving a jig saw puzzle. We can start from easy way...2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,.....20,000 pieces...or unlimited to try further ??
So, won't we agree that the more successful one would become, one would have resolved or seen many big pictures or bigger pictures. However, many may be just contented to have just see few pieces of the jig saw but asking for the satisfaction of seeing the whole big picture.
Hope we could resolve all our big picture in passing through our life especially the biggest picture of our life...THE REAL REASON of why we are in this WORLD ?

To a certain extend I would agree the more successful a person will be if he/she would able to see a big picture. At time, when one is given a solved and well arranged jig saw puzzle or a big picture, he/she able to see it but degree of analysing or understanding might not be there. Furthermore, he/she do not know what is behind the big picture? That's what we call it the motive behind a well presented picture.
Example: An apple on a plate. Which angle you consider as a big picture? a) you see it from a distance? b) you see it closely about a foot away?
Many of us would say (a), why? Just because you can see a big picture of the surrounding view beside seeing a apple on a plate. But from this distance, could you see clearly is it a good apple on a plate?? The answer is NO.
The one with answer (b), their big picture is considered as seeing a apple on a plate very close so that they could analyse and understand whether it's a good appleon a plate...
What I want to emphasis here is that different people have different view or perspective of their own definition of big picture.
