PROBLEM SOLVING TIPS

 

                                    THE METHOD TO 

                               SOVLE YOUR PROBLEMS

                      THOUGHTS ARE CAUSES AND CONDITION ARE EFFECTS. THEREFORE, THE QUALITY OF YOUR THINKING LARGELY DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE. THE GREATEST MENTAL PRINCIPLES IS THAT "YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MOST OF THE TIME".

                        TOP PEOPLE IN EVERY FIELD ARE INTENSIVELY SOLUTION ORIENTED. THEY THINK ABOUT SOLUTIONS MOST OF THE TIME, INSTEAD OF GETTING BOGGED DOWN IN WHO DID OR DIDN'T DO SOMETHING OR OTHER, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN EVERY FIELD CONCENTRATE ON THE SOLUTIONS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.

                         THE SUFI PHILOSOPHER IZRHAT KHAN ONCE SAID, "LIFE IS A CONTINOUS SUCCESSION OF PROBLEMS, LIKE WAVES FROM THE OCEAN. THEY NEVER STOP. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR ABILITY TO PRACTICE SELF-DISCIPLINE, SELF-MASTERY, AND SELF-CONTROL WHEN FACED WITH THE NEVER-ENDING FLOW OF PROBLEMS, DIFFICULTIES, SETBACKS, AND TEMPORARY FAILURES YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IS ESSENTIAL TO YOUR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND IN LIFE.

                                THE TONS OF PROBLEMS

                     THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL FACE A RIVER OF PROBLEMS PHYSICAL, FINANCIAL, FAMILY, BUSINESS, AND POLITICAL. THE ONLY BREAK IN THIS NEVER-ENDING CHAIN OF PROBLEMS WILL BE THE OCCASIONAL CRISIS. IF YOU ARE LIVING A NORMAL LIFE, YOU WILL PROBABLY EXPERIENCE A CRISIS EVERY TWO OR THREE MONTHS. AND IT IS IN THESE CRISES THAT YOU TRULY DEMONSTRATE THE QUALITY OF YOUR PERSONALITY AND THE STRENGTH OF YOUR CHARACTER.

                     IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU FACE UNEXPECTED REVERSALS AND SETBACKS THAT YOU SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU ARE TRULY MADE OF. ALL OF LIFE IS A "TEST". THE ONLY QUESTION FOR YOU IS DO THE PASS OR FAIL?

                      BY THEIR VERY NICE, CRISES COME "UNBIDDEN". YOU HAVE NO WARNING OR ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE THEM IN ADVANCE. IF YOU DID, IT WOULDN'T BE A CRISIS IN THE FIRST PLACE- OBVIOUSLY OR YOU WOULD ALREADY BE PREPARED. WHEN THE INEVITABLE CRISIS OCCURS, MORE THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME, SELF DISCIPLINE IS REQUIRED  SO YOU CAN REMAIN CALM AND CLEAR HEADED IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE CRISIS EFFECTIVELY.

                  THE DETERMINANT OF YOUR SUCCESS

                       IN YOUR WORK, YOUR PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY LARGELY DETERMINES EVERYTHING YOU ACCOMPLISH. PEOPLE WHO ARE GOOD AT SOLVING PROBLEMS ARE SOME OF THE MOST VALUABLE AND RESPECTED PEOPLE IN EVERY AREA. FOR THIS REASON, SUCCESS HAS BEEN DEFINED AS "THE ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS". THIS ALSO MEANS THAT HAPPINESS ISTHE ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. LEADERSHIP IS TEH ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

                     WHEN YOU PRACTICE SELF-DISCIPLINE AND SELF-CONTROL IN FACE OF THE INEVITABLE AND UNAVAITABLE PROBLEMS AND CRISES OF DAY-TO-DAY LIFE, YOU BECOME MORE COMPETENT AND EFFECTIVE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. YOU WILL BE RESPECTED AND ESTEEMED BY EVERYONE AROUND YOU. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A TREMENDOUS FEELING OF PERSONAL POWER AND COMPETENCE. IN NO TIME AT ALL, YOU WILL BECOME ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE PEOPLE IN YOUR ORAGANIZATION.

                                  ACTION EXERCISES

              1. SOLVE PROBLEMS IS LIKE SOLVING MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS. IT IS LEARNABLE WITH PRACTICE AND REPETITION. START BY DETERMINING THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS FACING YOU TODAY.

              2. ACCEPT COMPETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS YOU ENCOUNTER IN YOUR DAILY WORK, AND THEN THINK ABOUT THE SOLUTIONS.

              3. DEFINE YOUR BIGGESTOR PERSONAL PROBLEM CLEARLY. WRITE IT DOWN. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PROBLEM?

               4. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? COULD IT BE A OPPORTUNITY IN DISGUISE? IF SO, WHAT OPPORTUNITY OR LESSON COULD THIS PROBLEM CONTAIN?

               5. WHAT ELSE IS THE PROBLEM? PERHAPS THE REAL PROBLEM IS SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO FACE?

                6. WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS? WHAT ELSE COULD BE A SOLUTION?

                7. SELECT THE BEST SOLUTION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU RIGHT NOW, AND TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY.

LEADERSHIP

 

                 

                      SELF-DISCIPLINE AND LEADERSHIP

                         "NOTHING IS MORE HARMFUL TO THE SERVICE

              THEN THE NEGLECT OF DISCIPLINE, FOR IT IS DISCIPLINE MORE THAN

                           NUMBERS THAT GIVES ONE ARMY SUPERIORITY OVER ANOTHER".

                                                                                                       -----GEORGE WASHINGTON

                   LEADERSHIP AND SELF-DISCIPLINE GO HAND IN HAND. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMAGINE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER WHO LACKS SELF-DISCIPLINE, WILLPOWER, SELF-CONTROL, AND SELF-MASTERY, THE OVERARCHING CHARATERISTIC OF A LEADER IS THAT HE IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF HIMSELF AND OF EVERY SITUATION.

                   THERE HAS SELDOM BEEN A TIME IN HISTORY WHEN LEADERS WERE SO NEEDED AND SO MUCH IN DEMAND AS TODAY.  WE NEED LEADERS AT EVERY OF SOCIETY, BOTH IN THE PROFIT AND NONPROFIT SECTORS. WE NEED LEADERS IN OUR FAMILIES, BUSINESS, PLACES OF WORSHIP, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND, ESPECIALLY, POLITICS. WE NEED MEN AND WOMEN WHO TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES SERIOUSLY AND ARE WILLING TO STEP FORWARD TO TAKE COMMAND OF THE SITUATION.

                  FORTUNATELY, LEADERSHIP IS LEARNABLE. LEADERS NOT DEVELOPED - USUALLY SELF-DEVELOPED - OVER TIME THROUGH HARD WORK, EXPERIENCE, AND TRAINING. AS PETER DRUCKER ARE SO FEW OF THEM, THAT THEY MAKE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE GREAT SCHEME OF THINGS".

                    FOUR STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

                      IN YOUR CAREER IN BUSINESS, YOU PROGRESS THROUGH FOUR LEVELS OF ACTIVITY AND ATTAINMENT. FIRST, YOU START OFF AS AN EMPLOYEE, WITH LIMITED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. THEN, AS YOU GROW, LEARN, AND DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO GET RESULTS, YOU EVOLVE UPWARD AND BECOME A SUPERVISOR, WITH RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS OF OTHER PEOPLE.

                   AS YOU CONTINUE TO MOVE UP THE SCALE OF SUPERVISION, IMPROVING YOUR ABILITY TO GET THINGS DONE THROUGH OTHERS FROM DIRECTLY OVERSEEING THE WORK OF EMPLOYEES, YOU BECOME A MANAGER, SOMEONE WHO ASSIGNS WORK TO PEOPLE WITH DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCE IN CERTAIN AREAS. MANAGERS HAVE A LARGER VIEW, AND THIS COMESWITH GREATER RESPONSIBILITIES.

                AS YOU MOVE UP THE SCALE OF MANAGEMENT, BECOMING MORE KNOWLEDGE AND EFFECTIVE AND GETTING MORE AND BETTER RESULTS FROM MORE AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE, YOU REACH THE HIGHEST LEVEL, THAT OF A LEADER. AT THIS STAGE, YOU ARE RESPOSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHAT IS TO BE DONE RATHER THAN HOW IT IS TO BE DONE.

                 IT IS SAID THAT "SOME LEADERS ARE MADE, SOME ARE BORN, AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE LEADERSHIP THRUST UPON THEM".

                  LEADERS EMERGE OR ARE PROMOTEDTO DEAL WITH A SITUATION REQUIRING LEADERSHIP ABILITY. IN ITS SIMPLEST TERMS, THE ROLE OF THE LEADER IS TO "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS".

                  THE PRIMARY REASO THAT PEOPLE ARE PROMOTED INTO INCREASINGLY HIGHER LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP IS THAT THEY DEMONSTATE THE ABILITY TO GET THE REQUIRED RESULTS AT EACH LEVELS.

                THE ONGOING QUESTION OF THE LEADER IS ALWAYS. WHAT RESULTS ARE EXPECTED OF ME? CLARITY IS ESSENTIAL.

               THE MAIN REASON THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT PROMOTED  INTO GREATER LEADERSHIP POSITION - OR PERHAPS THEY ARE EVEN FIRED - IS BECAUSE  OF FAILURE TO EXECUTIVE". THEY DO NOT DO THE MOST IMPORTANT JOBS EXPECTED OF THEM, DO THEY GET THE RESULTS DEMANDED OF THEM.

                                LEADERS HAVE VISION

                        THE FIRST QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP, BASED ON 3,300 STUDIES OF LEADERS DONE BY JAMES MACPHERSON, IS THE QUALITYOF VISION. LEADERS HAVE VISION. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROJECT FORWARD INTO THE FURNITURE AND DEVELOP A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHERE THEY WANT THEIR ORGANIZATIONS TO GO. THEY THEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHARE THIS VISION WITH OTHERS AND GAIN OTHER'S COMMITMENT TO MAKE THIS VISION A REALITY.

                    YOU BECOME A LEADER WHEN YOU ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS. YOU BECOME A LEADER WHEN YOU BEGIN TO THINK, ACT, AND TALK LIKE A LEADER. YOU BECOM A LEADER WHEN YOU DEVELOP A VISION FOR YOURSELF AND FOR YOUR COMPANY, YOUR LIFE, OR YOUR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY.

                  THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BOOKS WRITTEN ABOUT LEADERSHIP AND THE IMPORTANCE OF VISION. YET THEY CAN BE BOILED DOWN TO A SINGLE PRINCIPLE. A MILITARY LEADER HAS A VISION OF VICTORY, FROM WHICH HE NEVER DEVIATES. A BUSINESS LEADER HAS A VISION OF SUCCESS FOR THE BUSINESS BASED ON EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, TO WHICH HE OR SHE IS COMPLETELY COMMITTED.

GET WHAT YOU WANT

 

                 

                                  THE UNIVERSE ARE 

                                        AN UNLIMITED

                     THE REAL STORY IS THAT YOU ARE AN UNLIMITED BEING. THE REAL STORY IS THAT THE WORLD AND THE UNIVERSE ARE UNLIMITED. THERE ARE WORLDS AND POSSIBILITIES THAT YOU CANNOT SEE, BUT ALL OF THEM EXIST. YOU HAVE TO START TELLING A DIFFERENT STORY! YOU HAVE TO START TELLING THE STORY OF YOUR AMAZING LIFE, BECAUSE WHATEVER STORY YOU TELL, GOOD OR BAD, LAW OF ATTRACTION MUST MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVE IT, AND IT WILL BE THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE.

               IMAGINE AND FEEL WHATEVER YOU WANT AND THOSE WILL BE THE PICTURES YOU RECEIVE BACK IN YOUR LIFE. GIVE LOVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND FEEL AS GOOD AS YOU CAN, AND THE FORCE OF LOVE WILL SURROUND YOU WITH PEOPLE, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND EVENTS THAT YOU LOVE. YOU CAN WHATEVER YOU WANT. YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT.

                                 WHAT DO YOU LOVE?

                                  WHAT DO YOU WANT?

                 LET GO OF ANYTHING YOU DON'T LOVE ABOUT YOUR LIFE STORY AND JUST KEEP THE THINGS YOU LOVE. IF YOU HOLD HAD ON TO NEGATIVE THINGS FROM YOUR PAST, THEN YOU KEEP PUTTING THEM INTO YOUR STORY EVERY TIME YOU REMEMBER THEM, AND THEY GO BACK INTO THE PICTURES OF YOUR LIFE - NOW!

                 LET GO OF THE THINGS YOU DON'T LOVE ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD, AND KEEP THE THINGS YOU LOVE, LET GO OF THE THINGS YOU DON'T LOVE ABOUT YOUR WHOLE LIFE . ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS OF THE PAST ARE DONE, FINISHED,  YOU ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON AS YOU WERE THEN, SO WHY KEEP PUTTING THEM IN YOUR STORY IF THEY MAKE YOU FEEL BAD? YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIG NEGATIVE THINGS OUT OF YOU FROM THE PAST. JUST DON'T PUT THEM IN YOUR STORY ANYMORE.

                 A MIGHTY, ETERNAL AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE FORCE PUSHES

                US ALL FORWARD. BUT WHILE ALL ARE SO BEING PUSHED,

                MANY LINGER AND LOOK BACK. UNCONSCIOUSLY, THEY

                OPPOSITE THIS FORCE.

                                                                             ---- PRENTICE NELFORD

                     IF YOU KEEP TELLING A STORY OF BEING A VICTIM, THEN THOSE PICTURES WILL PLAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU KEEP TELLING A STORY THAT YOU'RE NOT AS SMART AS OTHER PEOPLE, OR NOT AS ATTRACTIVE AS OTHER PEOPLE, OR NOT AS TALENTED AS OTHER PEOPLE, YOU WILL BE RIGHT BECAUSE THEY WILL BECOME THE PICTURES OF YOUR LIFE.

                  WHEN YOU FILL YOUR LIFE WITH LOVE, YOU'LL FIND THAT GUILT, RESENTMENT, AND ANY NEGATIVE FEELINGS WILL LEAVE YOU. AND THEN YOU WILL START TELLING THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, AND THE FORCE OF LOVE WILL LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE WITH THE PICTURES OF THE REAL/STORY OF YOUR AMAZING LIFE.

                  LOVE IS THE GREATEST POWER ON EARTH. IT CONQUERS

                  ALL THINGS".

                         POINTS OF POWER

                 * LIFE PRESENTS EVERYTHING TO YOU TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU LOVE!

                * IF SOMEONE HAS SOMETHIN YOU WANT, BE AS EXCITED AS THOUGH YOU HAVE IT. IF YOU FEEL LOVE FOR IT, YOU ARE BRINGING THE SAME THING TO YOU.

              * LIFE'S CATALOGUE CONTAINS THINGS YOU DON'T LOVE, SO DON'T CHOOSE THEM BY GIVING BAD FEELINGS.

               * TURN AWAY FROM THE THINGS YOU DON'T LOVE AND DON'T GIVE THEM ANY FEELING. INSTEAD SAY YES WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHIG YOU LOVE.

               * GIVE JUDGMENT AND CRITICISM AND YOU GIVE IT TO YOURSELF. GIVE LOVE AND APPRECIATION TO ANOTHER PERSON OR ANYTHING AND YOU GIVE IT TO YOURSELF.

               * WHEN PEOPLE SEE A LACK OF ANYTHING. IT'S SIMPLY A LACK OF LOVE.

                * YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH NOW. IF YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING THAT WASN'T RIGHT, YOUR REALIZATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF IT IS ABSOLUTION FOR THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.

                 *IT'S YOUR BELIEFS, TRUE UNTRUE, THAT FORM YOUR WORLD.

                 * YOUR IMAGINATION IS MORE REAL THAN THE WORLD YOU SEE, BECAUSE THE WORLD YOU SEE COMES FROM WHAT YOU IMAGINE AND BELIEVE! WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND FEEL TO BE TRUE IS WHAT WILL BE YOUR LIFE.

               * WHATEVER STORY YOU TELL, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD, WILL BE THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE. SO START TELLING THE STORY OF YOUR AMAZING LIFE, AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION MUST MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVE IT.

BUSINESS

 

                                 YOU MUST BE BETTER

                       BECAUSE OF THE AGGRESIVE AND DETERMINED NATURE OF YOUR COMPETITION, IN ORDER TO SIMPLY SURVIVE, YOU MUST DISCIPLINE YOURSELF TO BE EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAT YOUR COMPETITORS GET OUT OF BED EVERY MORNING THINKING ABOUT HOW THEY CAN PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CUSOMERS AND YOUR SALES. THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CUSTOMERS AND YOUR SALES. THEY WANT TO GET YOUR PROFITS. THEY WANT AS MUCH OF YOUR BUSINESS AS THEY CAN POSSIBLY GET. TO INCREASE YOUR PROBABILITIES OF SUCCESS AGAINST SUCH COMPETITION, YOU MUST MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO OUT-THINK THEM.

                 WHEN YOU START A BUSINESS OF A NEW VENTURE WITHIN A BUSINESS, YOU REQUIRE THE DISCIPLINE TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK THOROUGHLY, IN ADVANCE. YOU CREATE A COMPLETE BUSINESS PLAN BEFORE YOU START OPERATIONS, AND YOU CONTINUE TO UPDATE IT AND REVISE IT EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER. THE DISCIPLINE OF ADVANCED PLANNING CAN SPELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
