Problem Solving: Step One
| |
| The first step to solving any problem is asking yourself this question: Am I trying to solve a problem or am I trying to change something that I have no power to change? In my world a problem is something that I can solve with the resources that are at my disposal using skills I own within a reasonable length of time.
