Problem Definition

If anyone comes to you with a problem. I mean a challenge. Understanding the problem ( Problem definition ) is fundamental before offering any solution. If your understanding of the problem is flawed. Whatever solution you proffer ( Assuming you can come up with one ) will be flawed.

Always Double Check on the Problem Statement !!!

Advice is great.

But ........

It's of no use if it does not relate to the question.

Many years ago, someone came to me.

Hey Praise !!. I need advice.

I am not reading well enough.

Oh. I said.😂 Very quickly I began ...

You have to have a passion for books.

You see. Leaders, Readers, Books, Learning. bla bla

I then went on and on and on and on.

Only for him to stop me and say.

" Actually, I meant to say I was not reading well enough

Because I don't have access to books. Where can I get books ?"

If you misunderstood the question.

Your solutions would apparently be far from Ideal.

Sometimes, it pays to reiterate your understanding of the problem.

Before offering your advice/solution. Explain the problem again to the person to be sure you are both on the same page. If the person says yes, that's the challenge. You can then go all out.

Put those thinking brains to work. Who does not like problem-solving?😂
