Are Your Lights On?

by Donald C. Gause

MORAL ISSUES TEND TO MELT IN THE HEAT OF A JUICY PROBLEM TO SOLVE.

Sometimes I get too wrapped up in solving a problem to care about anything except solving the problem.

DON'T SOLVE OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS WHEN THEY CAN SOLVE THEM PERFECTLY WELL THEMSELVES.

Guilty

TRY BLAMING YOURSELF FOR A CHANGE—EVEN FOR A MOMENT.

I do this too infrequently

solving, or resolving, a problem is a rather trivial exercise—once we know what the problem is.

I’ve felt this. If you can ask a question in the right way, the answer just falls out.

PEOPLE SELDOM KNOW WHAT THEY WANT UNTIL YOU GIVE THEM WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

ooh. pithy.
