BLOG CITY Prompt: What is your process for problem solving? You choose the context as best fits your life. "In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." attributed to Theodore Roosevelt I tend to agree with President Roosevelt. Most problems are like a broken machine. It's just going to sit there until someone actually fixes it. The solution to a problem is a decision. Painful it might be, but you have to make that decision to do something about the problem. So, is the decision logical? Did you consider all the options, or is the decision a compromise that is only half going to fix it? Group problem solving is a minefield of probabilities. Personal agendas, peer pressure, financial influence, or simply inexperience can force devastating control over decisions. We read often about politicians 'kicking the can down the road'. Something to be avoided if at all possible. I have great sympathy for parents who are faced with: vaccinate or not; public, private or home-school; move the family or not? It's all tremendously difficult. I guess I make my own decisions just like I do when writing a novel. There is a problem...I try to solve it to make the story make sense and happen the way I have planned it. Usually my life works out the same way. As I have said before, adaptation is a necessary skill and that goes along with compromise. And as Teddy says, doing nothing is not a solution. Peace, >>>iggy The WYRM GAUNTLET has been thrown down! |
