Any problems tripping up your world today? Can you imagine a week without one problem to solve? Let’s say you have all you want in life and it’s paid for by now.

Alvin Tofler reminded us to stay alive to creative solutions when problems strike. Going even further, Tofler warned that the illiterate of the twenty-first century will be those people who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Problems create the impetus that plunges creative minds into the pleasures of new possibilities for change. People who draw from their multiple intelligences to solve problems, will likely agree with Einstein’s conclusion… “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”

No wonder the new definition for intelligence focuses on a person’s capability to solve problems, and come up with innovative solutions that others use to create change. So, what’s your problem today?
