Are You a Creative Problem Solver?
A lady lived in an apartment. Every night, just as she was about to sleep, the neighbor’s baby would start crying and kept her awake. She hardly slept as this baby continued to wail, night after night.
What to do?
- Complain to the baby’s parents?
- Plug her ears?
- Yell back?
- Move to another apartment?
Well, she did none of those things. She figured that if she could hear the baby so clearly, then the baby ought to be able to hear her, too. That night, the moment the baby began to cry, she sang and the baby quietened. She didn’t mind doing this every day.
What a compassionate and creative way to solve the problem!
