Be a problem solver

I read these facts recently with keen interest:

Ice cream - invented in 2000B.C. ...however, the ice cream cone was invented 3900 year later
Bread was first baked in 2600B.C....however, sandwich was created 4300 years later
Flush toilet was invented in 1775...however, toilet paper was invented only in 1857

All these things belonged together, yet it took so long for it to be put together.

We are surrounded by simple, obvious solutions that can dramatically increase our income, power, influence and success. The problem is...we just don't see them.

Here's a hard fact in life: The people above us - our bosses, management and leaders - want one thing above all. They want solutions to problems. Solutions make them look good and achieve their goals. They want people in their team to be problem solvers.

When we keep coming up with good ideas, we will be rewarded. Greater recognition, respect, more influence, promotion, a title, larger office...increased income. If not from within our current organization, then, without.
