Always Focus on solutions & not on problems.

Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions

Case 1
=====

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and US$12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.


Case 2
=====

One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty.

Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral: Always look for simple solutions.

Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems

Always Focus on solutions & not on problems.

Life will go on, yes, life will go on

life is never easy, but it is never too hard as well.
whatever you are having or facing now is the best thing
and the most appropriate thing you have to do in this moment of time.

May be
you complain about what you have, what you are doing now...
you dislike, unhappy with what you are facing now..
be it your work, your relationship, you family, your friends, your colleagues, your kids...and the list continue...

however,
if we can change the way we think,
if we can see things from another perspective,
if we can try to think positively in many of the our thoughts, if not all,
if we can be more gratitude of what we have now....
YES, WE CAN.

then,
when you change your thoughts, there your perception changed as well,
when your perception changed, there your attitude changed as well,
when your attitude changed, there your behavior changed as well,
when your behavior change, there your habit changed as well,
when your habit changed, there your personality changed as well,
when your personality changed, there your destiny hanged as well.

hence,
never look down or underestimate every small little changes you have made,
for them the beautiful complex things are determined,
never underestimate the changes of one person,
for them the attitude of larger community is determined.

because,
some one said that,
When you change the way you see thing,
the thing that you see changed
