| I first try to analyze what the problem is and then, based on these perameters, I try to seek a solution. The main goal is to not enlarge the problem by fearing it. My best, Bill |

Sounds like "fix it" to me, thank you Bill.

I rccall vividly how Reader's Digest once purveyed Enrico Fermi's Method (whose wife was Jewish) for solving complex Physics problems: to break them down, analyze them, into simple components.
Make them simple, not simpler. Einstein
Next to Johnny Von Neumann, Bronowski's ASCENT OF MAN rated Fermi one of the most brilliant intellects.
Now that I think of that, I wonder if there is any covert connection between Fermi's approach to problem solving and Ockham's razor: reject the more complicated solutions.

What I do is not react to the problem. I paws and think about it. when I come up with a solution it is usally something that can benefit all parties involved. Best thing is not to panic or blow it out of porption.
Listen don't prejudge. lend a shoulder not anger.

serious or not so serious.
I'm guessing most people react emotionally
at first, unless you're Spock-like, so do
you have a feeling or a thought or both?
I instinctively get defensive and say to
myself, "You can't hurt me!"....
(I'm not sure who "You" is.. )
How do you react?

If it is a serious problame I usaly think oh **** not again prior to easily solving the problame just like our favorite vulcan(Spock). |

I react to any problem, big or small, the same way. Drastically. I will be the first to admit that I have a problem solving problem. Which is a problem and throws me into a fit again. But seriously. From people dying to losing my lunch card, I freak out. Run into the one corner in my room not occupied by furniture (I'm not that stupid), sit, hug my knees and cry freak out.
And I'll also be the first to admit...that is a bad thing.

Some problems, like those at work (nursing) have definite responses which experience has made almost reflexive.
Problems between people are so hard. One has to take a deep breath and step back to calm the initial emotional reaction. Get the facts. Compare the various ways to react ("there are always possibilities")and anticipate further problems. Choose the one that leaves the most opening for further discussion.
I wish I could say I have great success, but....I'm getting better! |
