Sometimes a quick thought is all you need to get moving on that problem. Sometimes pondering a quick reflection can spark another idea. And sometimes, it's just fun (and necessary) to keep things short.
Here are some brief thoughts on centered problem solving. Some have been tweeted by me, and some appear here for the first time.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Some problems are mostly a misunderstanding. Check to see if you truly share a common understanding of the situation.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
If you see it as a problem, then it is a problem.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
It takes more than an hour to solve a truly entrenched problem.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Solving problems will give you energy and motivation -- oh yes, and then the problem is gone.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Sometimes problem solving is accelerated change management.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Problems require us to advance our knowledge and expand our training.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
You may not be able to solve a problem and yet can still turn it into a positive experience.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Learning better ways to solve problems creates a sense of satisfaction that is unique and liberating.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Centered problem solving is about making strong, informed decisions.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
There is no one magic problem solving formula but there are many useful ones. It just depends on the problem.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Each problem solved can be a step toward fulfilling our mission.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
When others discourage you from solving your problem it just means that they don't yet fully understand its importance.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Every problem is a test of character.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Every problem is a reason to improve.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Sometimes people define you by how you solve problems.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Your problems are not waiting for solutions -- they may be perfectly happy tormenting you. Solving your problems is up to you.
