" Discover, Analyze & Solve it . . . . . Problem Solving "

" It's not that I'm so smart,
It's just that I stay with problems longer "
~ Albert Einstein ~


Problem solving is a mental process which is the concluding part of the larger problem process that includes problem finding and problem shaping where problem is defined as a state of desire for the reaching of a definite goal from a present condition that either is not directly moving toward the goal, is far from it or needs more complex logic for finding a missing description of conditions or steps toward the goal.

There are seven main steps to follow when trying to solve a problem. These steps are as follows :

1. Define and identify the problem.
Clearly understand the problem.
~ Develop a problem statement : Make sure the problem is limited in scope so that it is small enough to realistically tackle and solve.
~ State the goal : Stating the goal provides a focus and direction.
~ Considerations.

2. Analyze the problem.
In this stage of problem solving, questions should be asked and information gathered and
sifted.

3. Identifying possible solutions.
" The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas " ~ Grift Niblacks
~ Brainstorming
~ Buzz groups
~ Nominal groups
~ Delphi methods
~ Fantasy chaining
~ Focus groups
~ Methaphorical thinking
~ Considerations

4. Selecting the best solutions.
6 steps to decision making.
" Decision making can be seen as bringing one into an ambivalent relationship with both power and responsibility " ~ Michael Lerner

5. Evaluating solutions.

6. Develop an action plan.

7. Implement the solution.

"The Early Bird Catches The Worm"

~ Success comes to those who prepare well and put in effort ~

~ Whoever arrives first has the best chance of success; some opportunities are only available to the first competitors ~

~ If you start something early, you stand a better chance of success ~

If we want to achieve our goal, we must get an early start. If we do something early or before anyone else, we will have an advantage and be successful. This proverb teaches us that Procrastination leads to lost opportunities.
If you are a student, it is best to study early and in small Increments well before your test. Don't "Drag Your Feet" in preparation! Don't Cram the night before the exam.

Vocabulary :
Procrastination - to delay doing something
Drag your feet - to delay, to do something too slowly
Cram - to prepare hastily for test
Increment - a small change by which something is made larger

" We Are Born With Certain Needs "

" Life is about being yourself.
Someone only you can be ...
Someone only you can understand ...
Someone that is unlike everyone else.
Someone that doesn't copy others to look the same.
Someone who is extremely unique.
Because You Are You "

~ Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs ~

Abraham Maslow believed that we are aware of our motives and drives for the most part and that without the obstacles of life, we would all become psychologically healthy individuals with a deep understanding of ourselves and an acceptance of the world around us.

Maslow's most well known contribution is the hierarchy of needs and this is often used to summarize the belief system of humanistic psychology. The basic premise behind this hierarchy is that " we are born with certain needs ". Without meeting these initial needs, we will not be able to continue our life and move upward on hierarchy.

The final level in the hierarchy is called the need for self-actualization. Self-actualization refers to a complete understanding of the self. To be self-actualized means to truly know who you are. Where you belong in the greater society, and to feel accomplished all that you have set out to accomplish. It means to no longer feel shame or guilty, or even hate, but to accept the world and see human nature as inherently good.

Many people likely tried to place themselves on one of the five levels of the pyramid. This may be an easy task for some, but many struggle with the ups and downs of life. For many of us, life is not that straight forward. We often have one foot in one level, the other foot in the next level, and are reaching at times trying to pull ourselves up while making sure we don't fall backward at the other times.

The goal of mankind, however, is to keep an eye on the top of pyramid and to climb as steadily as possible. We may stumble at times and we may leap forward at times. No matter how far we all backward, however, the road back up is easier since we already know the way.

" Strength and growth come only through continues effort and struggle : KEEP STRUGGLING "

Don't Skip Your Breakfast.

BREAKFAST ( literally meaning " Breaking The Fast " of the night ) is the first meal taken after rising from a night sleep, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work.

Studies show that Children Who Eat Breakfast perform better on cognitive test and school. May be it works that way for adult too. In any case, skipping breakfast is probably a bad idea.

Your body ( or may be your brain ) expects to be refueled a few times each day, so when you skip meals you may feel so hungry that when lunch time comes, you over-eat or may be choose foods that are not the healthiest choices. People who eat breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Some experts believe eating breakfast keeps your metabolism running.

Breakfast should include Protein and plenty of Fiber ; the combination will help satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunch time. The Protein can come from low-fat meat, eggs, nuts or dairy products. High-fiber foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.


" ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST "
