Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions

The Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions -
.
Case 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.
.
Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.
.
Moral: Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems.

Friendship - A way towards live life...

abcdName, fame and money are not enough to satisfy the social needs of a human being. One more thing desperately needed is ‘a true friend’. Like any other relationship, friendship has its own significance and position in life of a person. A human being is social by nature and does not prefer to live alone. A person leading a lonely life may become pessimistic and diffident.
..
abcdFriendship is psychological need of a person. Friendship does not depend upon age, religion, caste, sex, community, looks, standard of living, etc. Broadly speaking, a friend can be any person with whom one deeply desires to share openly moments of life like his secrets, inner thoughts, feelings, happiness, grief, miseries and so on. Parents, grandmother, grandfather, sister, brother, life partner, any other relative, classmate, colleague or anybody can be friend. Not only this, even animals can be good friends of a person. In many cases, music or books can be close friends of a person where one has no confidence or belief on another person. Plants are also found to be friends of a person. Generally, friendship is between two or more than two persons but one may be friend of oneself.
.
abcdShakespeare had said it very truely that ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’. One may have a big friend circle but a very few friends are close friends in a life of person. A true friendship is purely based on full faith, mutual trust and confidence. It may differ in liking, disliking, opinions, level of education and intelligence but there must be same level of understanding from both the sides.
.
abcdA friendship may also be defined as a level of understanding of two persons’ matches. It should not be concluded that a true friendship is free from any clashes. The friendship that is unaffected under any circumstances is a true friendship. It is permanent and informal as true friend always tell openheartedly to each other the difference between right and wrong.
.
abcdA true friend is like mirror in which one can see his real image. Jealousy and false admiration has no place in true friendship. Rani Droupadi and Lord Krishna in epic ‘Mahabharat’ or Lord Rama and Hanuman in epic ‘Ramayana’ were known for their true friendship.
.
abcdMisunderstandings can never break true friendship. It is an emotional involvement of one person towards other and vice versa. It grows and becomes more hardcore with the increase of wrinkles on face. A friendship is co-operation, sacrifice, exchange of thoughts and information. Happier happenings or any other success becomes double whereas sorrow or problems becomes minute with its participation. One may feel relaxed after discussing his problems with a true friend.
.
abcdTrue friendship is like greenery in desert life. It adds liveliness and cheer in life. It develops better understanding and expands knowledge. A true friend is invaluable. When there is nobody, a true friend is always there like a shadow. A solution may not come after discussing of one’s problem with true friend but it gives moral support in life which is sufficient just to make up one’s mind to face the situation and to keep cool.
.
abcdefghijklLonely life is not the life,
abcdefghijklBut is the mind yet to ripe,
abcdefghijklGreenery comes with the friendship,
abcdefghijklA true, pure and wonderful relationship.
