Can You Solve This Mind-bending Problem?

It often amazes me that people think they’d use better tone or get ahead or find more breaks, if they had fewer problems. That interests me, because the new definition of an intelligent person is one who learns and applies keen skills needed to solve everyday problems.

Picture a setting without one problem to solve.  Let’s say, business is up, you have all you want in life and it’s paid for by now. You have no problem colleagues, because they too are problem free.  What would you do with your mind? How would you spend your day? solving-problems.gif

Alvin Tofler reminded us to stay alive to creative solutions when problems strike.  Going even further, Tofler warned that the illiterate of the twenty-first century will be those people who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. What one problem you do see that could draw a solution from your multiple intelligences today?

How would you answer for instance, a co-worker, who asked you to:

Help an overweight community to check their ideal weight based on a standard formula? Here’s one solution that allows people to check out your ideal here.

Offer a talk radio blog for those who’d rather listen daily than read blogs. Click to download a podcast for iPod and MP3 players, created so you can play blogs right on your computer. Or listen to Wayne Turmel interview and chat with experts at Cranky Middle Manager.

Address the fears of many that black holes can swallow the earth. Their solution?

Challenge teachers stop boring the tears out of their high school students.  Watch John Stossel’s video “Stupid in America” to see his solutions that could just work.

Help end the more than 1200 suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge since the bridge opened in 1937. That problem sparked Eric Steel’s documentary film, titled, “The Bridge,”  which heightens people’s awareness of suicides there. Check out the video.

 

Problems  create the impetus that plunges creative minds into the pleasures of new possibilities for change. Solutions add a new zip to watercooler conversations.

People who draw from their multiple intelligences to solve problems, will likely agree with Einstein’s conclusion… “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” 

No wonder the new definition for intelligence involves a person’s capability to solve problems,  and come up with solutions that others use to create change. So, what’s your problem today? More important, what solution can you cook up from your unique mix of intelligences?
