"If I have an hour to solve a problem,
then I spend 55 minutes on the problem
and 5 minutes on the solution."Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Albert Einstein was an unconventional thinker who devoted considerable attention to the nature of problems, frequently resulting in the development of novel solutions. The majority of individuals, however, are of a different disposition. When presented with a solution to a problem, individuals tend to rapidly seek a preexisting solution that aligns with their presumed problem. A common example is a medical professional who may have a diagnosis prepared and begin filling out a prescription before the patient has fully described their symptoms and medical history. Most people prefer to resort to ready-made solutions rather than think carefully about what the problem actually is.
