Pay attention.  Throughout our lives we often hear things like, “That’s just the way it is”, “That’s the way we have always done it.” etc…

I ask you to just take on one of those tasks.  One task you hear “that’s just how we have to do it”, and you know of a better way, change it.  Life or professional experience has taught you of a better way.  Keep an open mind looking for the best solution not just for you but everyone involved.  If you know of a better way, educate others until that change is a standard.

One key problem solving skill that I have learned, “The problem is the solution.”

China took a great leap in the right direction building one of MBDC Cradle To Cradle Cities.  How many other countries have been so bold as to create a Green City?  Unfortunately neither MBDC nor China could see that their problem was the answer.  The Local Chinese People were complaining that every home had a garage and only a very small percentage of the Local Chinese People had cars.  The Local Chinese People were farmers they needed farms not garages.  Here is where I am a little disappointed; no one thought to convert the garages into greenhouses, the problem is the solution!  We had better at least learn from our mistakes so that something so close to perfect does not go to waste again.

Or assist in one cause that you would like to be a part of.

Looking for a cause, help me create green jobs, businesses and homes just to give them all away… ​

After you have completed your task and you are filled with this feeling of fulfillment it is the perfect time to ask yourself…Are you the kind of person who settles for doing the minimum or do you want to try another task?  Do you want to feel that feeling of fulfillment again?  Or what about how good you felt every day going to work?

Be Helpful, Not Hurtful
