Using and creating metaphors and analogies for communication by using abtraction

Metaphors and analogies are not just for improving communication style and increasing the effectiveness of communication. When you continue logic beyond the similarities between the metaphor and the thing you want to explain and and what other conclusions can you draw from the metaphor, you may come up new ideas. For example, the metaphor "climbing the corporate ladder" can stimulate our thinking about the ladder and the wall. Stephen Covey in his book "The 7 habits of highly effective people" plays with this metaphor and asks what if we realize later that the ladder leans against the wrong wall. It teaches us to be wise, to think about how our preferences and values may change in the future and incorporate those views into our current decisions, too.
