A Perspective on Problems
  • Problems Are Everywhere, and Everybody Has Some
  • Our Perspective on the Problem, Not the Problem
    Itself, Usually Determines Our Success or Failure

30
A Perspective on Problems
  • There Is a Difference Between Problem Spotting
    Problem Solving
  • The Size of the Person Is More Important Than the
    Size of the Problem
  • Problems, Responded to Correctly, Can Actually
    Advance us Forward

A problem is something you can do something
about. If you cant do something about it, then
its not a problemits a predicament.

34
When Facing Problems, People
  • Flee it they try to get away, but problems
    always follow
  • Forget it they hope the problem will go away,
    but problems left alone only get worse
  • Fight it they resist, but the problem still
    persists
  • Face it they look at the problem realistically

35
Positive thinking is how you think about a
problem. Enthusiasm is how you feel about a
problem. The two together determine what you do
about a problem.Norman Vincent Peale
