Problem Solving Exercises = Problem Solving Steps

Problem solving exercises are valuable and useful for every human being. For all of us who have problems, that is. :-)

The method below is one that I've successfully used for many years and it never fails us, one way or another ...

1) What do I want?
2) Make the best plan you can for where you are now ...
3) Take action on your plan ...
4) Evaluate the results of your action ...

Repeat steps 3 & 4 until you get what you want or change your mind and decide you prefer something different.

The marble plaque above is a quote from Winston Churchill, spoken during the really dark days of World War II. Does it mean that once I've decided on a course of action I should stick with it, no matter what?

No, of course not. But what it does mean is that as long as a goal is important to you, never give up on reaching it. The means don't really matter, as long as they're not illegal or immoral.
