It’s a beautiful day, sun is shining birds are flying. Everyone is happy and you are heading to work.
You arrive at your desk and find a pile of problems waiting for you. And if that’s not enough, your boss comes to you and says: “Here, take these papers and deal with them. I am having this issue several times this month, please fix it.”
You look at all the stacked papers and just feel… happy!
Yes, you fell happy and energized and powerful. You know why? Because you know how to solve problems.
And you know, that by solving them, you will be doing something meaningful. You will be developing yourself and developing others.
Many times problems are seen as hurdles, headaches and trouble. When in fact, problems are the chance to improve something, to learn something and even to achieve greatness.
As problem solver you will find yourself in a position to make all these papers go away to never come back. You are able not only to solve this one “thing”, but you act to prevent the same or similar issue from ever happening again. You are getting rid of all the hurdles, one at a time, making everyone’s life so much easier.
