Problem Solving: Dare To Be Different — 4 Comments

  1. Found this from G+ share of Jeevan.

    Whenever I face a problem, I will try to see the bright side. I work 8 years in customer service and my main task is to solve complain. So yes, go figure 🙂

    The thing is…we got to always see the bright side. I don’t see the problem as a problem. I see the problem as a challenge to grow myself and think out of the box 🙂 hehe.

    Thanks for sharing this write up.

    • Hi friend of Jeevan!
      Perfect illustration of problem solving skills in action. Most of us don’t see what it takes to work in Customer service faced with frustrated customers who want their problems fixed. Can’t always be easy but I think yours is the right approach: seeing the bright side and taking on the challenge.
      Very best wishes
      Isabelle

  2. I like to think that there are multiple solutions to each problem (and my experiences have not proved me wrong so far :D). It’s just a matter to finding and executing it. Of course, some solutions are better than others.

    What works for us may not work for us, that’s what we could takeaway from the German roads example. Blindly following someone or their methods is not going to get us anywhere. Analyze their strategy, experiment with it, see if it works for you, analyze, learn and improve. Repeat the cycle 🙂

    I especially like the idea of revolution (kind of like more is less. I think minimalism and I believe the more elements in my blog just overwhelms and distracts the reader, instead of getting their attention).

    As for questioning, I like to question, not just others’ ideas/solutions, but also my own. Why do I think I am right? Why would a particular strategy help me?

    Anyways, thank you for the insights, Isabelle 🙂 Good luck with your site (I will stop by; I am trying to learn French and German right now, so I am sure that your website will help :D)/

    • Hi Jeevan, Thanks for dropping by.
      I like what you say: there are not one but several solutions to a problem – some better than others.
      The goal of problem solving is to solve the problem, and most problems can be solved in any number of ways. If you discover a solution that works, it is a good solution. There may be other solutions thought of by other people, but that doesn’t make your solution wrong.
      It’s just a matter of being creative and experimenting until you find a solution that works for you…
      and because things always evolve (espcially for blogs/webistes), what suits you now will probably need some tweaking later on
      and again,
      and again…
