This method tries to group four contents related to:
.How to find new ideas
.How to select new ideas
.How to prove new ideas and
.How to make decisions .
The reason for making only one method is so that the elderly analyse a
brief story, detect each content and consequently to
apply the "cheese theory" to their working life considering new job
opportunities.
