INSIGHTFUL VS INTELLECTUAL PROBLEM-SOLVING
The standard intellectual way of problem-solving usually involves the following stages:
1. Recognize and define the problem.
2. Look for all relevant information about the problem.
3. Generate possible solutions.
4. Analyze and choose the best possible solution.
5. Take action to implement it.
However, in the 21st Century, problems that had hitherto been unsolvable are often too complex to be solved by the above intellectual method. So, I have chosen to solve all identified national problems by using an insightful problem-solving method.
INSIGHTFUL PROBLEM-SOLVING
Insights are spontaneous new thoughts that provide sudden moments of clarity and understanding of a problem; often arriving when you are not actively thinking about it. Yet, the solution that arises would appear to be so simple and natural that it will make you wonder why you did not see it earlier.
Insights into various national problems can be encouraged to appear by adopting a particular strategy as follows:
Step 1: Keep your mind relaxed, but with an expectation that an insight about the problem at hand is soon forthcoming.
Step 2: Open your eyes and keep them focussed on the connection between our purpose and our objectives.
Step 3: Listen carefully to what's being said by people around you and read news, websites and blogs on any topic as widely as possible.
Step 4: Boldly think thoughts that deliberately contradict conventional wisdom.
Step 5: At this point, one central idea will emerge.
Step 6: Ensure that the idea is in line with our purpose.
Step 7: Confirm that the idea will achieve our objectives.
Step 8: Build a narrative that flows from our purpose to our actions; from our actions to our objectives and on to all positive or negative consequences. This is to ensure the workability of the idea.
