I find that the easiest part of a problem is testing to see if it’s a real problem.

The hard part comes in knowing what to do about it.

But I know two truths about problem solving:

• It doesn’t help to pretend that there is no problem.
• Or to confuse discussion for decision.

If you don’t want to solve a problem, don’t bring it up or bring it up endlessly.

If you do, it will take action. And it will take support for action.

That’s where the real work is found: in building something up.

The demolition is fun. We all love sledgehammers. It only takes a few of us and we can bring the house down.

Today, I prefer the ruler and the pencil, smartphone and Facebook, or power drills and screws. Use these tools to build something.
