What good is a problem if we can't learn from it?
I think we can learn from any problem. In fact, one of the best benefits to centered problem solving is the willingness to learn and grow in the face of difficulty and challenge. We might not pick problems as our favorite way to learn, but they do provide that opportunity.
Think of the time it takes to solve a problem as part of your ongoing education.
There's no diploma, no graduation, and no degree but the lessons just might change your life.
Some of them have certainly changed mine!
