Michael A. Schuler: “Sustainability isn't about the quick fix or the cheap solution. Generally it means making a commitment and trying, as best we can, to honor it. In any worthwhile enterprise, from protecting the environment to preserving a relationship, we are going to encounter difficulties. The good life is not a problem-free life. In point of fact, the process of overcoming adversity often produces some of the most rewarding experiences we will ever have. Human beings need to be challenged to 'test their mettle,' as it were. Throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble or small inkling of distress may be the easy thing to do, but it doesn't help our self-concept. Most of life's troubles can be overcome if we are willing to work through them with patience.

Stephen Nachmanovitch: “There are no prescriptive solutions, no grand designs for grand problems. Life's solutions lie in the minute particulars involving more and more individual people daring to create their own life and art, daring to listen to the voice within their deepest, original nature, and deeper still, the voice within the earth.

Hugh Miller: “Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them.
This quote  | Related Quotes: Challenge Quotes, Opportunity Quotes, Problem Solving Quotes  


Peter F. Drucker: “What is the manager's job? It is to direct the resources and the efforts of the business toward opportunities for economically significant results. This sounds trite -- and it is. But every analysis of actual allocation of resources and efforts in business that I have ever seen or made showed clearly that the bulk of time, work, attention, and money first goes to problems rather than to opportunities, and, secondly, to areas where even extraordinarily successful performance will have minimal impact on results.

What is the major problem? It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all. Yet our tools especially our accounting concepts and detail focus on efficiency. What we need is (1) a way to identify the areas of effectiveness (of possible significant results), and (2) a method for concentrating on them.

Mohandas K. Gandhi: “The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

Magdalena Abakanowicz: “Art does not solve problems but makes us aware of their existence. It opens our eyes to see and our brain to imagine.
This quote  | Related Quotes: Art Quotes, Creativity Quotes, Imagination Quotes, Magdalena Abakanowicz Quotes, Problem Solving Quotes  


David Friedman: “The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.

Jane Elizabeth Auer: “Voting is one of the few things where boycotting in protest clearly makes the problem worse rather than better.
