When you attack a problem as though it were solvable, even though you don't know how to solve it, you will be shocked with what you come up with. It's 100 times more worth it. It's never 100 times harder.

We like to think we can solve everything, but we can't always.

If we're given a number of circumstances to deal with, the brain goes into this mode of trying to find a solution, and it's amazing how good we are at it.

Creating problems is easy. We do it all the time. Finding solutions, ones that last and produce good results, requires guts and care.

No problem can be solved until it is reduced to some simple form. The changing of a vague difficulty into a specific, concrete form is a very essential element in thinking.

Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.

I believe that when you find problems, you should also find solutions.

There is always an easy solution to every problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

Solving problems is fine, but it has gotten to the point of being a global obsession. We somehow have it in our heads that if we solve all of the problems, we can sit back and enjoy the easy life. But in reality, we become lazy and complacent. And that's when we get flooded with even bigger problems.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
