Best Problem Solving Quotes By Martin Gardner

Consider a cow. A cow doesn't have the problem-solving skill of a chimpanzee, which has discovered how to get termites out of the ground by putting a stick into a hole. Evolution has developed the brain's ability to solve puzzles, and at the same time has produced in our brain a pleasure of solving problems. — Martin Gardner

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Jeanne Liedtka

Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause. Lists solve a problem: Here's an issue we face, let's create a pro and con list about how to solve it and then pick the best option. A cause is something that ignites people and unites people. That is what a good story does: It creates a cause. — Jeanne Liedtka

The only reason you will get hired is because the person hiring you believes you can help them solve their problem. Stop thinking you're "filling an opening;" you're not. You're actually solving a company's problem, and by solving their problem, they will solve yours. — Mayowa O Ajisafe

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Thomas S. Kuhn

the process of learning a theory depends upon the study of applications, including practice problem-solving both with a pencil and paper and with instruments in the laboratory. If, for example, the student of Newtonian dynamics ever discovers the meaning of terms like 'force,' 'mass,' 'space,' and 'time,' he does so less from the incomplete though sometimes helpful definitions in his text than by observing and participating in the application of these concepts to problem-solution. That — Thomas S. Kuhn

Making a movie is a lot of problem solving. — Gia Coppola

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Wayne Gerard Trotman

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

The gap between understanding and misunderstanding can best be bridged by thought! — Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Peter L. Phillips

If design is a problem-solving discipline, then great design must start with a thorough understanding of the problem to be solved - which is best found in a great design brief. — Peter L. Phillips

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Julius Genachowski

If you're in government, the right thing to do is be focused on solving real problems and asking what's the best solution to a particular problem. — Julius Genachowski

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Arthur Stanley Eddington

Each electron wants the whole of three-dimensional space for its waves; so Schrodinger generously allows three dimensions for each of them. For two electrons he requires a six-dimensional sub-aether. He then successfully applies his method on the same lines as before. I think you will see now that Schrodinger has given us what seemed to be a comprehensible physical picture only to snatch it away again. His sub-aether does not exist in physical space; it is in a 'configuration space' imagined by the mathematician for the purpose of solving his problems, and imagined afresh with different numbers of dimensions according to the problem proposed. It was only an accident that in the earliest problems considered the configuration space had a close correspondence with physical space, suggesting some degree of objective reality of the waves. Schrodinger's wave mechanics is not a physical theory but a dodge - and a very good dodge too. — Arthur Stanley Eddington

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Carolyn Lee Adams

I know how to work a problem. Frustration is the enemy. It makes you do stupid things. So you don't let it beat you. Instead you search for landmarks, look for signs. The task takes every single bit of me I have left. It's good, this task, because it keeps my mind focused. — Carolyn Lee Adams

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Christian Cantrell

Solving problems isn't so much about simplifying them as it is about properly and realistically reducing them to only what's relevant. And one of the best ways to reduce a problem to only what's relevant is to throw away most of your assumptions about it. — Christian Cantrell

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Nick Hanauer

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Dave Ramsey

Your job as an EntreLeader is to make sure when your team member leaves your office they take their monkey with them. The first step is to give them some ideas for options and instruct them to come back with three good ways to solve the problem and a suggested course of action. The next step is to teach your team to come to your office with a problem only after they have found three or more possible solutions and a suggested course of action. That makes for some great discussions and teachable moments as you show them how you would make the call. After solving problems and making the call with your help several times, the best team members begin to see the pattern you use and can do what you do. The final step is very personally rewarding. — Dave Ramsey

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Russell L. Ackoff

Successful problem solving requires finding the right solution to the right problem. We fail more often because we solve the wrong problem than because we get the wrong solution to the right problem. — Russell L. Ackoff

Best Problem Solving Quotes By V. St. Clair

Best Problem Solving Quotes By James L Hymes

Play for young children is not recreation activity, It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity. Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met. — James L Hymes

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Pearl Zhu

The exercise of blending people's problem-solving abilities to produce the desired outcome is a worthwhile thing to do. — Pearl Zhu

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Henry Cloud

Proactive boundaries go beyond problem identification to problem solving. Your child needs to know that in protesting, she has only identified the problem, not solved it. A tantrum doesn't solve anything. She needs to use these feelings to motivate her to action, to address the issue at hand. She should think about her responses and choose the best one available. — Henry Cloud

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Scott E. Page

Diverse groups of problem solvers outperformed the groups of the best individuals at solving complex problems. The reason: the diverse groups got stuck less often than the smart individuals, who tended to think similarly. — Scott E. Page

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Neil Young

After a few months, I decided to do one more leg of the Le Noise tour and film the last show with Jonathan Demme in Toronto's Massey Hall/ It turned out to be a great night. Everyone was very happy because we had captured it. During a review of the digital files, we realized that the resolution was not full, it was a stepped down quality, not the best it could be. My own team's excuses were not adequate, because I was not informed of the decision to go to a lesser quality. Lesser quality is so accepted as normal now that even I had used it unknowingly. I went back to Massey Hall and set up a PA system like the one I used at the show, played back the mixes through the PA, and rerecorded the house sound at the highest resolution. I did the best I could with a bad situation. It does sound great now. Thankfully, the PA mix was only one step down from the highest resolution, so when it resonated in the hall and was rerecorded at the highest level, a high resolution hall sound was captured. — Neil Young

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Michael J. Marx

Decision making and problem solving are not the same. To solve a problem, one needs to find a solution. To make a decision, one needs to make a choice. — Michael J. Marx

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Frank A. Clark

I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it. — Frank A. Clark

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Brene Brown

Another great example of the power of vulnerability
this time in a corporation
is the leadership approach taken by Lululemon's CEO, Christine Day. In a video interview with CNN Money, Day explained that she was once a very bright, smart executive who "majored in being right." Her transformation came when she realized that getting people to engage and take ownership wasn't about "the teling" but about letting them come into the idea in a purpose-led way, and that her job was creating the space for others to perform. She chracterized this change as the shift from "having the best idea or problem solving" to "being the best leader of people. — Brene Brown

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Brian Cowen

I believe it is the best method to get the buy-in for the road we have to travel. I believe it is a problem-solving process about how we collectively come forward with a strategy to deal with the issue. — Brian Cowen

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Malcolm Gladwell

A critic looking at these tightly focused, targeted interventions might dismiss them as Band-Aid solutions. But that phrase should not be considered a term of disparagement. The Band-Aid is an inexpensive, convenient, and remarkably versatile solution to an astonishing array of problems. In their history, Band-Aids have probably allowed millions of people to keep working or playing tennis or cooking or walking when they would otherwise have had to stop. The Band-Aid solution is actually the best kind of solution because it involves solving a problem with the minimum amount of effort and time and cost. — Malcolm Gladwell

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Randall E. Stross

The best programmers are not marginally better than merely good ones. They are an order-of-magnitude better, measured by whatever standard: conceptual creativity, speed, ingenuity of design, or problem-solving ability. — Randall E. Stross

Best Problem Solving Quotes By David Rock

More people than ever are being paid to think, instead of just doing routine tasks. Yet making complex decisions and solving new problems is difficult for any stretch of time because of some real biological limits on your brain. Surprisingly, one of the best ways to improve mental performance is to understand these limits. In act 1, Emily discovers why thinking requires so much energy, and develops new techniques for dealing with having too much to do. Paul learns about the space limits of his brain, and works out how to deal with information overload. Emily finds out why it's so hard to do two things at once, and rethinks how she organizes her work. Paul discovers why he is so easily distracted, and works on how to stay more focused. Then he finds out how to stay in his brain's "sweet spot." In the last scene, Emily discovers that her problem-solving techniques need improving, and learns how to have breakthroughs when she needs them most. — David Rock

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Robert L. Forward

After a short flurry of national and international concern over the "death of the Sun," the human race settled down to solving the insoluble problem in the best way that they knew - they ignored it and hoped it would go away. — Robert L. Forward

Best Problem Solving Quotes By R. Buckminster Fuller

I am enthusiastic over humanity's extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday's fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem. — R. Buckminster Fuller

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Don Roff

Creativity and intelligence, rather than violence, are the best problem solvers. — Don Roff

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Mahsati Abdul

Sometimes letting go is the best solution — Mahsati Abdul

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Henry Kissinger

Americans have a tendency to believe that when there's a problem there must be a solution. — Henry Kissinger

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Frederick Mosteller

Much of what I have learned, as well as much of my intellectual enjoyment, has come through problem solving. Through the years, I've found it more and more difficult to tell when I was working and when playing, for it has so often turned out that what I have learned playing with problems has been useful in my serious work. — Frederick Mosteller

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Cedric Price

Architecture should have little to do with problem solving - rather it should create desirable conditions and opportunities hitherto thought impossible. — Cedric Price

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Rick Warren

Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them. — Rick Warren

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Clayton Christensen

There are other dimensions of biotechnology. If you think of biotechnology like the Internet, it's not a category - it's an infrastructure that can be deployed to sustain or disrupt. In health care, the most complex problems at the high end have to be dealt with in a problem-solving mode by the best, most experienced physicians you can find. — Clayton Christensen

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Ray Bradbury

The history of science fiction started in the caves 20,000 years ago. The ideas on the walls of the cave were problems to be solved. It's problem solving. Primitive scientific knowledge, primitive dreams, primitive blueprinting: to solve problems. — Ray Bradbury

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Abhishek Krishnan

There is never a problem without a solution. It's just that you don't see it because fear, insecurity and lack of passion make you blind. — Abhishek Krishnan

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Deval Patrick

We believe that in times like these we should turn to each other, not on each other. We believe that government has a role to play, not in solving every problem in everybody's life but in helping people help themselves to the American dream. That's what Democrats believe. — Deval Patrick

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Haruki Murakami

I don't think it's right that I'm part of the problem. I can't be part of the solution if I'm part of the problem — Haruki Murakami

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Nike Thaddeus

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Elon Musk

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Andrea Kuszewsk

Intelligence isn't just about how many levels of math courses you've taken, how fast you can solve an algorithm, or how many vocabulary words you know that are over 6 characters. It's about being able to approach a new problem, recognize its important components, and solve it - then take that knowledge gained and put it towards solving the next, more complex problem. It's about innovation and imagination, and about being able to put that to use to make the world a better place. This is the kind of intelligence that is valuable, and this is the type of intelligence we should be striving for and encouraging. — Andrea Kuszewsk

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Be solution oriented. Infect everyone with enthusiasm. — Debasish Mridha

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Herbert Simon

Solving a problem simply means representing it so as to make the solution transparent. — Herbert Simon

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Toffee

Problems in your life are like the weights in the gym. You can either get weighed down by them or turn them to your advantage and become stronger. — Toffee

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Peace Pilgrim

I define democracy as control by the people. Slaves are those who allow others to control their lives. Insofar as people succeed in solving their problems fairly and efficiently at a grassroots level, they retain control over their lives. Insofar as they delegate their problem solving to a higher authority, they lose control over their lives. — Peace Pilgrim

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Jesse James Garrett

As much as we may want to withdraw into a world of pure problem solving, we have to acknowledge that the most successful architectures are the ones you can actually convince someone to implement. — Jesse James Garrett

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Garry Kasparov

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Jeff Duffey

The ideal partner will be passionate, permanent, partner-ready, problem-solving, parent-material, productive, personable, and protective. Yet partners are just human...The essential question(for the woman with an unplanned pregnancy): Does the biological father (have) enough of them for you to bring a child into the relationship? — Jeff Duffey

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Charlie Herrick

To fundamentally solve a problem, we must understand it's cause. In that I mean the chain of actions or circumstances that led to the problem
rather than only the immediate cause, which serves only to place blame. — Charlie Herrick

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Justin Young

We'll never solve the problems we don't talk about. — Justin Young

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Paul Marsden

Business is all about solving people's problems - at a profit. — Paul Marsden

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Richard Rohr

Truth is not always about pragmatic problem solving and making things "work," but about reconciling contradictions. Just because something might have some dire effects does not mean it is not true or even good. Just because something pleases people does not make it true either. — Richard Rohr

Best Problem Solving Quotes By James S.A. Corey

She sat at the dining table, a steaming mug of tea in front of her, a distant look in her eyes. Holden couldn't tell if she was melancholy or solving a complex engineering problem in her head. Those looks were confusingly similar. — James S.A. Corey

Lift up your head, and step ahead ... — Moutasem Algharati

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Luvvie Ajayi

Some well-meaning folks think if we stop talking about racism, it'll magically disappear, like the smell of an errant fart. But like a fart, people might try to be polite and ignore it, but everyone knows it's there. Avoidance has never been a great tactic in solving any problem. For most situations in life, not addressing what's going wrong only makes matters worse. It's like someone breaks your arm, and the person who slammed the baseball bat into it is saying, 'The only reason it won't heal is because you keep complaining that it hurts.' How about you get me a cast so the bone can set straight again? America does not want to put the effort into providing this cast. This is why we must talk about race, and we must do it openly. — Luvvie Ajayi

Best Problem Solving Quotes By Mikito Takada

Distributed programming is the art of solving the same problem that you can solve on a single computer using multiple computers. — Mikito Takada
