It’s a Process

Solving a problem can’t be viewed as an event. Sometimes a fix is temporary, or the solution to one problem, over time, becomes a new problem in itself. Even if a chosen solution is perfect and permanent – the environment continues to evolve often rendering both the initial problem and the solution irrelevant. If we think about problem solving as an ongoing process that plays an integral part in our everyday activities, we can avoid becoming frustrated by our inevitably short-lived success.
