Extremism – Solving Problems!!

All surfaces are not likely to be smooth. Similarly our lives are full of twists and turns. Life is truly known to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. Nin, you said it 100% right. In other words, a smooth sea never made a skilful mariner.

Be aware of when opportunity is going to knock your door; but it is better not to have a sleep when problems enter from your backyard without knocking.

L for life, M for Manage, N for Negotiate, O for opportunity, P for problems, Q for Quotient, R for Resources and S for Solution.

This is My ABCD for Problems and solutions.

Life is full of opportunities and problems. Managing resources with quotient and negotiation with self or others gets every solution.

Neither I talk management nor science but everything is controlled by our mind. And we are bound by our nearest environment and emotions.

Read following statements.

Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Everything takes longer than you think.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, at a minimum the one that causes the most damage will go wrong.
If it is impossible for something to go wrong, it will definitely go wrong.
Left to themselves, things will go from bat to worse.
If things seem to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

All are ‘Laws of Murphy’. I am not talking to be negative minded, but be ready for anything worst. In other means, bad news travels fast!!

In decision-making process, finding problem is an initial entry point. It is said as "decision point". It is like standing at junction or crossroads and asking self "Where to go".

A decision point is reached when you become aware of a specific problem and see the need to make a decision. Before you can solve a problem however, you have to know what the problem is. You must be able to interpret the entire picture so that the problem is clearly understood.

Interpreting picture is not always so easy exercise. Either you follow someone’s experience to interpret or experience it first time with care. Luck factor helps in second case.

With care means calculate all possibilities from best to worst. And believe in what Murphy said.

Timophy Foster said on problems " The more you know about a problem, the easier to solve. Oh Yes? The problem is, we can be so close to the problem we get bogged down with information and ignore things we already know, so we don’t consider them. Everybody knows that! Fortunately, if you allow uninformed people to help you generates ideas, you may find the occasional solution popping up that is so clear, and you want to tick yourself. Of course, it’s so obvious! So when you are trying to solve problem, by all means involve people who know a lot about the subject. And include one or two who know nothing."

This is crucial and bitter viewpoint considering all realities of our lives.

Few philosophers believe that there are no problems in life. We have all around opportunities only. Kaiser says, "Our problems are only opportunities in work clothes".
My all time Hero ‘Thomas Alva Edison’ said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

You may disagree with me saying – " it looks nice in well covered book". Yes, it is also true! It depends on how would you like to tackle problems! Learning from failures is an opportunity rather any problem which generates failure. Alas! Problem! – That which does not kill us strengthens us.

We face hundreds of problems in our day-to-day lives (most of are generated by our tired imagination only). Don’t we face them? Problem has no body. You cannot measure it. Nothing is big or small when it is locked in our mind. Approaching problem is an art – a way to solution and success. When you are in problem or failure just believe that you are around solution. Problems are created by us and solved by us.

Nolte, an American actor said on solutions, " There are two ways to approach problems,. You can sit down and say, ‘Oh my god, I can’t face this, it will destroy me.’ Or You can stand up and look beyond it to see how it can make you grow."

At maximum and at minimum are two angles to look problems. If you can identify and walk with limitations or boundaries of problems, you will be never far from solutions. American consultant and CEO of BrainResearve, Faith Popcorn talk on extremism in solving problems. "At BrainReserve, we never work toward a solution- we always go past it. We push the problem all the way to the end, to the blackest future possibility. The extreme. When we let the trends help us work back to the solution. It’s an approach we call extremism, and it works for any problem."
