A preposition is a word that connects its object (a noun, a noun clause, or a pronoun that follows the
preposition) to another word in the sentence. A preposition is positioned before its object, typically
indicating a relationship based on time, space/location, or direction between the object and the rest of
the sentence:

          To garner more attention, Pauline placed the dead dog on her head.

          “I need to get to the finish line before Sanchez,” gasped Juan.

          (In the first sentence, on expresses a relationship of location: It tells where Pauline placed the
dead dog. In the second sentence, before describes a relationship based on time: It tells when
Juan would like to reach the finish line. The object of on is head; the object of before is
Sanchez.) 

     Prepositions can also express other relationships as well. For instance, a preposition such as
concerning shows a relationship of logic. Prepositions such as without and except show a relationship
of exclusion.

"The Six Thinking Hats technique of Edward de Bono is a model that can be used for exploring different perspectives towards a complex situation or challenge. Seeing things in various ways is often a good idea in strategy formation or complex decision-making processes. It provides a means for groups to think together more effectively, and a means to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way.

Main benefits of Six Thinking Hats method:
1. Allow to say things without risk
2. Create awareness that there are multiple perspectives on the issue at hand
3. Convenient mechanism for 'switching gears'
4. Rules for the game of thinking
5. Focus thinking
6. Lead to more creative thinking
7. Improve communication
8. Improve decision making"
