7 Unique Ways You Can Become A Problem Solver
The World Awaits You
It is often said that “A problem shared is halved”. Yes, we need to share it. To be a problem solver, you must possess certain qualities:
Listen With Empathy
Be a good listener, who is not interested in his own voice or words. He listens carefully and with attention to what is said and what is implied without interruptions.
He shares the feelings of the other person.
His purpose is to capture the essence of the message and summarize it to the hearing of the other person to assure him of comprehension.
There may be a distress call, a challenge, a plea, an SOS, a claim, or an accusation embedded in the speech.
He is able to choose the appropriate course of action to take in response. He encourages the speaker to maintain a flow of thought while speaking.
He supports the conversation with useful body language and gestures at intervals to signify his presence of mind and understanding.
He maintains steady eye contact and occasionally reemphasizes the points raised.
In the end, he willingly recaps the message to the speaker.
Mingle
You don’t have to be a social butterfly to mingle. You only need to be able to relate with people from all walks of life and background without reservations.
Mingling affords you the opportunity to gain the trust of those within your circle of influence, group, or community.
The closeness enables mutual interactions which lead to mutual trust.
When you are not considered a stranger within the group, it is very unlikely that people will be shy of letting you in on their secrets when they have problems to solve.
Read
“Readers are leaders,” A reader is likely to be broad-minded. He knows a lot about people and places even without taking a trip.
He is also familiar with the different cultures and traditions of many people he has not met.
Reading prepares you for life’s journeys when you will be far away from home.
You can build confidence that will help you to make new friends from overseas.
So, read well, read wide, and read for the sake of knowledge and wisdom.
Travel & Explore The World
A traveler gains an understanding of other cultures and traditions firsthand. He enjoys the peculiarity of other countrys’ climates and opportunities to live abroad.
A traveler’s monotony is broken whenever he is away from home. There is the possibility of cultural exchange and appreciation.
He can collaborate with foreigners in professional circles and establish new networks while exploring new business opportunities.
Meditate
“Thinkers rule the world”. Many of the modern gadgets we enjoy today were made by great thinkers.
A closer look at many products will convince you that inventors are great thinkers.
A problem solver must also be able to think deeply in order to come up with solutions to the myriads of problems facing mankind.
Great revelations come to light when mortal men connect to the supernatural.
Meditation is the act of turning matters around in your mind, chewing, digesting, and bringing it up again to unravel the mystery surrounding it and weighing it upon the scale of deep wisdom.
Moreover, you are transported into the realm of the unimaginable fullness of the richness of the infinite and to the arena of rare knowledge unknown to man. To the presence of the creator of all.
Discover
When men sleep over matters, they discover new insights. That is why some say “Let me think over it”.
He who Ask, Seek and Knock the door of the author of life shall find many treasures.
Those who seek the face of the Almighty in solace always uncover uncommon truths never known to man.
