Thinking About Solving Problems

I think I know when creating problems is a useful task for the thinking person. 

I believe that figuring out the best, most succinct way of stating a problem requires skillful thinking.  This season of the year I can envision this sequence of problem statements:

Problem statements:

·      I don’t know how to get accepted into the program of (college of my choice). 

·      How can I gain acceptance by the administration of  (college of my choice)?

·      What must I demonstrate to gain acceptance at (college of my choice)?

·      Who must I talk to in order to determine what I must demonstrate to gain acceptance at (college of my choice)? 

·      When must I begin preparing to be accepted by (college of my choice)? 

·      My goal is to be accepted into the (college of my choice). 

If only I can state the problem clearly, then I can begin thinking, researching, asking questions and plotting methods to solving the problem.  The more clear I can be in stating the problem, the better my solution to the problem will be.

Thus, I will be a better thinking if I can create, or state, problems clearly and helpfuly.
