Have you learned much from solving problems?
I've found that in every problem there are essential lessons to learn. By learning these lessons I've been able to avoid repeating some problems. Other problems have been avoided altogether by heeding the lessons of the problem at hand.
By solving a problem we get the benefit of the solution as well as the lessons that the problem had to teach us.
But if we don't solve the problem, we still get to learn. Sometimes, we get to learn over and over.
Failing to solve a problem may teach you more than solving it.
You just might not enjoy while you learn.
