Go Out Push!

An essential step to find out what a problem is to determine who was upset about something and what that something is. For example, if your spouse is annoying you come home at 3 am, it is easy to identify who and why.

Another approach is to identify what is working well. For example, if you turn the switch in your home and you do not receive the light, your problem is the lack of electricity.

Unfortunately, many people are unable to detect the simplest definition of a problem.

A problem is always defined as the most obvious thing.

With this approach:

The best solution is always the most obvious thing too.

This has been expressed as the KISS principal – keep it simple and stupid.

One of the most common solutions to situations of human beings face is to find lost objects.
<> “I lost my car keys.” A clear statement of the problem, instead of “I can not get my car started.”

Keys, and most other objects obey the laws of gravity, which means it does not move by themselves. So lost, must be brought to the point of being lost.

I had a friend who lost a $ 20,000 check box to bearer on demand. A serious problem if there ever was one. Therefore suggested that the person to go back where they were sure they had the check (the bank) and retrace their movements to the point where they realized the check was lost. This took some argument. However, once the person started in the fall, they found the check, which had fallen into a folder and was lying on the ground. Gravity. Unfortunately, I have not had a rate of retention.

Another friend, when faced with the destruction of something, immediately jumps to the conclusion that someone else is responsible. “My cleaning lady must have stolen stamps.” No. The labels are simply lost. When the location of the seals returned on the last possession that was presented exactly where it had set, and forgotten. Cleaning lady not to participate.

The loss of things always identified another problem … one keeps losing things. There is an obvious solution, putting things in the same place all the time.

Unless one has a really good memory, random distribution of elements as one of the keys to the car constantly produce the result that the keys are “lost.”

However, the laying random things (usually lost), is the kind of problem that only a consultant work. How many spouses have tried to tell his counterparts of this solution, in vain? That becomes another problem, eventually leading to divorce. You have to pay someone to take this advice.

As you can see, the simple problem of losing the keys one at a time often results in another State of Problem Solving:

Cascade solutions to the conflict.

Which brings us to the last question in the resolution of problems …. if the problem still unresolved?

Knowing that solutions to the problems of creating more problems, falling into conflict, one has to sit down and decide whether or not to overlook the initial problem.

This is extremely difficult to do because human beings are wired to identify and solve problems. That’s why humans invented computer games that are playable on Apples.

Many people have spent thousands of dollars to learn an essential ingredient for a happy life …. to say “not my problem.”

So your husband always forgets that he or she put the car keys. So what? Never, never offer to help solve this problem. Not your problem.

The only time to address another problem is when you hire to do it. Therefore, the aim of using problem solving to maximize employment. This is the highest form of evolution of human intelligence. Or perhaps the lowest, since this art is usually practiced by the government.
