Problem solving is an art because it takes a real creative mind to be a good problem solver. It involves creative thinking and it is something you can learn to do. As an art it should be held in high esteem. Problem solving needs to be taken seriously, but not too seriously.

As demonstrated adults tend to lose their problem solving skills. Adults are too quick to just want to get things done. They do not take the time to really think. Thinking is an important part of problem solving. Thinking involves not only looking at the obvious but also considering the not so obvious.

Children are master problem solvers because they are not afraid to try anything. Children will work and experiment and take the time to solve a problem. They do not care if people think they are weird for spending so much time to solve a problem. They are having fun trying to solve problems and they see it as a challenge or a game more then work.

Adults, on the other hand, just would rather give up then even put forth some effort. They see solving problems as just one more thing they have to do. It is work. There is nothing fun about it.

They can not see that problem solving can be something fun and exciting – it is just all about the way you approach it and look at it. That is why we have to go back to thinking about problems and approaching them in the same way we did as a child.

You have to approach problems with an attitude that is positive. You have to believe you can solve the problem and not immediately think about how hard it is going to be. You have to believe in your abilities. Self doubt can kill even the best problem solving efforts. If you never believe that you can solve a problem then you probably will never be able to solve the problem.

Your mind is very powerful. You have probably been told before that whatever you put your mind to you can accomplish. Well, the same is true for what you mind against. If you think that you can not do something then you will not be able to do it. It really is that simple. Your mind is that powerful. Mind over matter – that saying says it all.

You have to try different things and work towards a solution instead f just waiting for the solution to become clear. You have to work at problem solving, but at the same tie you have to be creative with your problem solving.

Problem solving is something we are born to do. Problems come in every shape and size. They can be small or they can be huge. You have to always be prepared because most often problems come unexpectedly. They will just appear and you have to deal with them.

You can not avoid problems, so it is only logical to become a good problem solver. A good problems solver is going to be an asset. They are someone good to have around. Make yourself that problem solver. Be the person everyone loves to have around. Be the person who can look at a complex situation and come up with a solution. Do not be the person that runs away and says I don’t know or I can’t do it.

There is no room for negative words when it comes to problem solving. Always remember that. Remember also, Bob and Junior. Be a junior, not a Bob. Don’t give up or make excuses. Tackle problems and make the effort to solve them. Put your mind to it and you can be a great problem solver.

Put the art of problem solving to work in your life and you will be amazed at how well it works. Stop giving up and passing them onto others. Solve your problems and you will be glad you did.
