Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions

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 soapbox, which happened in one of Japan's biggest
cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought
a soapbox 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 soapbox 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
soapboxes 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 soapbox 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

Always Focus on solutions & not on problems
So the end of the day the thing that really matters is HOW ONE LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM, mere perceptions can solve the tough
probs....

Breathing Therapy

Breathing Therapy
The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale. Actually they are
different; you would be able to feel the difference. The right side represents the sun, left
side represents the moon. During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left
nose to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone? If you feel tired, just
reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will
feel your mind is refreshed. Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left
side belongs to 'cold'. Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off"
faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up. Do you notice
the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ? If left is faster, you
will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will
get refreshed quickly. This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced
by adults. My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor. There was this period when he suffered headache literally every night, unable to study. He took painkillers, did not work. He decided to try out the breathing therapy here: closed
his right nose and breathed through his left nose. In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month. This
alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced. So, why not give it a try?
