Solving Quotes

Frozen in fear, you avoid responsibility because you think your experience is beyond your control. This stance keeps you from making decisions, solving problems, or going after what you want in life Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a passion for solving a problem that I think I can solve in a new way. And that maybe it helps that nobody has done it before as well Picture Quote #1

Creative people have an abiding curiosity and an insatiable desire to learn how and why things work. They take nothing for granted. They are interested in things around them and tend to stow away bits and pieces of information in their minds for the future use. And, they have a great ability to mobilize their thinking and experiences for use in solving a new problem Picture Quote #1

I’ve been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving Picture Quote #1

Failure is part of discovering the problem you need to be working on. If, as an entrepreneur, you are afraid to fail or to admit the failure of your efforts, then you completely lose any chance at being able to adapt and succeed at finding the problem that needs solving Picture Quote #1

Solving a problem is hard enough; it gets that much harder if you’ve decided beforehand it can’t be done Picture Quote #1

Innovation is hard because solving problems people didn’t know they had and building something no one needs look identical at first Picture Quote #1

All happy companies are different: each one earns a monopoly by solving a unique problem. All failed companies are the same: they failed to escape competition Picture Quote #1

Solving specific problems is what drives me. I am not interested in having a career. I never have been Picture Quote #1

Mental acuity of any kind comes from solving problems yourself, not from being told how to solve them Picture Quote #1

Mystery writing involves solving a puzzle, but high suspense writing is a situation whereby the writer thrusts the hero/heroine into high drama Picture Quote #1

Success in solving the problem depends on choosing the right aspect, on attacking the fortress from its accessible side Picture Quote #1

Problems are a major part of life. Don’t whine about why you always have problems…get on with the solving. Take it from someone who has been there–the solving gets easier as you go along Picture Quote #1

Solving problems is a practical skill like, let us say, swimming. We acquire any practical skill by imitation and practice. Trying to swim, you imitate what other people do with their hands and feet to keep their heads above water, and, finally, you learn to swim by practicing swimming. Trying to solve problems, you have to observe and to imitate what other people do when solving problems, and, finally, you learn to do problems by doing them Picture Quote #1

Investigation may be likened to the long months of pregnancy, and solving a problem to the day of birth. To investigate a problem is, indeed, to solve it Picture Quote #1

I’m just not going to spend a lot of political capital solving some other guy’s problem in 2010 Picture Quote #1

We’re taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven’t, you need to do things the wrong way. Initiate a failure by doing something that’s very silly, unthinkable, naughty, dangerous. Watching why that fails can take you on a completely different path. It’s exciting, actually. To me, solving problems is a bit like a drug. You’re on it, and you can’t get off Picture Quote #1

There is no reason to believe that bureaucrats and politicians, no matter how well meaning, are better at solving problems than the people on the spot, who have the strongest incentive to get the solution right Picture Quote #1

Often, the greatest challenge facing an organization is recognizing and acting on opportunity rather than solving a problem Picture Quote #1

Business is the most powerful force in society. It has the highest potential for solving social problems. Once consumers saw examples of prosperous companies integrating social concerns into their business practices, they were emboldened to demand the same of other businesses. Businesses could no longer say it was impossible Picture Quote #1

What is the origin of the urge, the fascincation that drives physicists, mathematicians, and presumably other scientists as well? Psychoanalysis suggests that it is sexual curiosity. You start by asking where little babies come from, one thing leads to another, and you find yourself preparing nitroglycerine or solving differential equations. This explanation is somewhat irritating, and therefore probably basically correct Picture Quote #1

We are at a critical point where rapid change is forcing us to look not just to new ways of solving problems but to new problems to solve Picture Quote #1

I am interested in solving an unknown factor of art and an unknown factor of life Picture Quote #1

There are basically two approaches to solving the problem of terrorism. One is that you understand the mind of the terrorist in order to establish defenses against it. The other is that you kill all the terrorists and all the potential terrorists Picture Quote #1

All we have to do to create the future is to change the nature of our conversations, to go from blame to ownership, and from bargaining to commitment, and from problem solving to possibility Picture Quote #1

Human ordeals thrive on ignorance. To understand a problem with clarity is already half way towards solving it Picture Quote #1

To me there’s no creativity without boundaries. If you’re gonna write a sonnet, it’s 14 lines, so it’s solving the problem within the container Picture Quote #1

Fun from games arises out of mastery. It arises out of comprehension. It is the act of solving puzzles that makes games fun. In other words, with games, learning is the drug Picture Quote #1

The various levels of problems and issues are interwoven, so that solving any one of them without simultaneously addressing the others rarely works for long Picture Quote #1

If any feel that as psychiatrists directing a hospital for alcoholics we appear somewhat sentimental, let them stand with us a while on the firing line, see the tragedies, the despairing wives, the little children; let the solving of these problems become a part of their daily work, and even of their sleeping moments, and the most cynical will not wonder that we have accepted and encouraged this movement. We feel, after years of experience, that we have found nothing which has contributed more to the rehabilitation of these men than the altruistic movement now growing up among them Picture Quote #1
