why it bothers me?

I am reading Edward de Bono's Serious Creativity. I have not finished reading the whole book. I am just 1/5 of the whole book by the way, but I am serious of finishing it.

So far, I am ok with his ideas and how one should think using the different hats, as described below courtesy of http://www.debonogroup.com/six_thinking_hats.php:

	The White Hat calls for information known or needed. "The facts, just the facts."
	The Yellow Hat symbolizes brightness and optimism. Under this hat you explore the positives and probe for value and benefit.
	The Black Hat is judgment - the devil's advocate or why something may not work. Spot the difficulties and dangers; where things might go wrong. Probably the most powerful and useful of the Hats but a problem if overused.
	The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and intuition. When using this hat you can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves, and hates.
	The Green Hat focuses on creativity; the possibilities, alternatives, and new ideas. It's an opportunity to express new concepts and new perceptions.
	The Blue Hat is used to manage the thinking process. It's the control mechanism that ensures the Six Thinking Hats® guidelines are observed.

I am trying to understand my earlier encounter with an officemate who is insisting to do the format that he wants versus the format given by the funder. I am trying to rationalize things... and hoping to use the 6 thinking hats. :)

It's a long weekend. Yebah!
