Enjoy your problems

To live life you need problems. If you get everything you want the minute you want it, then what’s the point of living?

Solution-oriented!

A bedouin once urinated in the Prophet’s Mosque, and people got up to punish him.

The Prophet said, ‘Leave him alone, and throw a bucket of water over his hurine. You are here to make things easy, not to make things difficult.’

Hadith of Al-Bukhári

Difficulties can be overcome

Real difficulties can be overcome; it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.

Solution-oriented!

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Henry Ford

This can’t be stressed often enough: Your every action should be solution-oriented!

Instead of looking for scapegoats or excuses, you should use your brain to search for a way to overcome the obstacle you are facing.

Never forget this doctrine: Think and act solution-oriented. Forget blame and fault and start taking responsibility in a positive, solution-oriented way!

Getting it done

The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.

Napoleon Hill

See it from an employers’ or a clients’ perspective: You do want something to get done. You do not want to have to struggle with it, you just want someone to deal with it for you.

The best person to do this is the person who just gets the job done without any further complications. You do not want to deal with consecutive workers or with the problem itself, your want the first person you hired to get it over with.

That’s a crucial concept in why some people are favoured over others when it comes to giving out jobs.

Learn to be a problem-solver and focus on solutions, not on excuses or obstacles.

Focus!

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems, not people.

To focus your energies on answers, not excuses.
