Problem solving

There are many problem solving techniques unknown to the  majority of people .If you learn the following problem solving technique  it will greatly help you in handling  the many problems that you will face in life.Remember that  life is full problems,but when you are faced with a problem you can greatly improve you chance of overcoming it if you view it as  a challenge or even  as a opportunity.Many of the great achiever of life  achieve success by turning defeat  into  victory. No man that  have set out to achieve something out of the ordinary  has been able to avoid problems. The winner of life are the one that pick themself up from defeats ,dust themself  and throw themself right back into the race. Remember  no matter how many times you are defeated, as long as you don't give up ultimate victory is yours.

The Silent Method

One of the most effective technique that I have learned to handle my problems,is just by sitting silently.For the lack of a better name we shall call this technique " The Silent Method". The  method simply consists of getting by yourself,writting down your major problem in life and then sitting  silently for the answer to flow. It is one of the most powerful ways that I know  of that you can use to solve any problems.The thing to remember here is not to do anything just sit silently and wait for the answer to come. For some of you guys out there who are so used to running about without any  clue to what you are doing this will be extra difficult. Sit there silently for 30 to 60 minutes and the answers will come.

Wild catting

Wild catting is another technique that you can use to solve your problems.Again it simply consists of writing your problem down in a piece of paper  and then forcing your self to write down 20 solutions down .Remember to define your problem in as a specific term as possible.For example don't write down  " How do i get richer ?".You can write "How do I earn  $5000/month  in 6 months time or if you are a salesman,"How do I  improve the sales of a particular product by 10 percent within 4 month times".Then make yourself write down 20 solutions to that question.Don't reject any solutions just because it sounds impossible. Focus on writting down those solutions without being judgemental ,be funny ,humour is a wonderful ability which frees the mind from limitation.After you have came up with 20 solutions,go through each solutions and pick the best.Sometimes  some solutions that  don't seems so attractive now can be saved for later use.This is called the combanition of ideas.Basically what you do is you combine two or more ideas that separately  wouldn't be a good idea to you.

Creativity

Creativity  is a useful tool in becoming sucessful.The human mind is like a machine of infinite possibilities but it has a  the setback of having the  habit of revolving in a groove or circle of  a set of ideas.This circle is usually  define by  our believe system which in turn is largely influence by society, and society is not always right! The habit of creativity is to keep getting out of the old circle of thoughts into a bigger and better circle of thoughts.You cannot get out of this circle of thoughts by  thinking long and hard using your old ideas,assumptions and beliefs,instead you must jump into a new set of beliefs,a Paradigm Shift.Below are some basic creativity exercise.
1) Think of new ways to use old things. For example a thick dictionary is a weight,a  paper ball making device, a weapon or a exercise equipment.
2) Make interesting  stories about events around you.For example you are sitting alone waiting for your friend  when suddenly  a lone old lady pass by. Imagine instead that she is a spy .The grocery bag that she is holding is  actually  a bomb.Suddenly a dog approaches her.What if the dog was a midget in a dog suit.
3) Turn off the sound from the tv and try to make your own conversation about the tv characters.
4)Do new things,take risk,when travelling use a different route.
