Are you Solving a Problem?

Publish Date: Aug 28 '24

There are always two ways of solving a problem.

Imagine you need to hammer a nail.

Solution 1:
Automatic nail hammer that is connected to an app on your phone, connected with the Neuralink brain chip. It is enough to think about it and a team of carpenters is sent onsite to hammer the nail.

Solution 2:
A hammer nails it with one shot.

Sometimes solution 1 gets better PR, looks cool, and is more fashionable.

Sometimes Solution 2 looks boring.

In the era of added complexity, the decade of Solution 2 just started.

So ask yourself today.

Are you solving a problem?

Or are you feeding a process?

In both cases:

Keep nailing it.

    That's a thought-provoking analogy! It highlights the importance of finding the simplest and most effective solution to a problem, rather than always reaching for the most complex or flashy option.
