"To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?"
- Jim Rohn
Look at the world around you. Would you agree there are INJUSTICES left and right? Often people are left holding the bag on a RAW DEAL for no logical reason other than, SH*T HAPPENS.
What is it that we can DO to ensure that does not happen o us (or at least happens less often)?
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTIONS… not the problem. What does that mean?
That means DERIVING ways to resolve issues or improves processes BEFORE you go off the handle about how "screwed up this and that is." It means NOT creating disdain amongst your colleagues by "venting" with no solutions offered and no discussion with the people that may be able to help you in creating solutions. Frankly, it means KEEP QUIET until you talk to the people that can help or SOLVE the problem on your own. Everything else is POINTLESS!
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Problem solving is CHALLENGING. It requires that you SEPARATE yourself from the situation emotionally in an effort to find ways to overcome LOGICALLY.
By becoming part of the group SOLVING the issues, you gain a few key advantages, such as, personal investment into the solution, designing of the solution in your favor, trust and respect from the people for whom you SOLVED the issue.
Sure, COMPLAINING feels great for a few moments; yet, what does it solve? Very little. Rather than EXPENDING that valuable energy in a pointless rant, REFOCUS it on finding better ways to eliminate the fail point from the system, and ENSURE that you will not have to waste that energy again.
Cheers,
Zach
