The things that is so obvious that makes you say "duh..." are the most common things that people overlook when they are in the situation. There are moments in life that you could not see things clearly and there is a trick I use at those moments (which may also seem obvious).
Step out of it! Put aside all emotions and take a step back. Not a small step, but a huge step. Imagine you are up in the sky looking at yourself (you should look about an inch tall), and look at the situation. It is important to put aside all personal emotions and see things like anyone else would. It is this mere you just a moment ago, that could not see that the situation is not that tough. This mere you is stuck in such a tiny problem you thought would have no solution. Solution has always been there, we human just like to stick our head in the "problem" and look in it. Try to step back and look around it, over it, or even beneath it. Maybe then you see the solution lying there waiting for someone clear minded to find it.
Yes, the solution may not be as good as you hope for, maybe even less than satisfactory, but never say that you can't find a solution. It is just that you hope that that was not the solution.
Whether it is in business or life, this trick has always work for me, hope it works for you too.
Like what a carpenter would say; measure twice, cut once. You should think twice(maybe more), decide once. Once decided, don't look back, work your way through. Look at yourself from above, and still you will be proud.
Best wishes to all of you and enjoy thinking!
p/s: if the problem still looks big, you haven't step further back enough.

There are too many things that I want to share, but I don't know which topic to begin with. Being my second post, I do not want to dive into too serious topics. So I gues
s I will just start with the current hot news; H1N1 (Influenza A).
More details about this flu pandemic can be found at:

More details about this flu pandemic can be found at:
Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 and 2009 Flu Pandemic.
(Note: there will not be any spoon-feeding here, put an effort to search and learn more)
Anyway, I am not discussing about what is H1N1 nor its danger, but rather about the "virus-technology". Over the years, there are many types of virus outbreak all over the world, and it just never stop coming. Ever thought about why?
Now with technology aside; about their strategy: Pandemic/epidemic "Logistic Solutions". Click here for difference between Pandemic and Epidemic.
How their strategy works?
Easy, just "Stick" & "Spread".
There is a much deeper thought into this strategy than it seems. Its the innovation within it that make this simple strategy work flawlessly. The "product" must not be easily cured/cleared therefore tremendously enhancing the chances of spreading. To be a true epidemic, it shall be spread in the most efficient way, in this case, in the disguise of a common flu. Taking advantage of the human's necessity of travel, and with the current aviation technology, epidemic will quickly turn into a pandemic.
Some marketing experts have already understood this simple strategy and turned it into an advantage. Like using viral video, slogans (word of mouth), and many more, they are able to keep the "message" in one's mind and let them do the spreading work.
There are much more deeper things in nature that we have yet to figure out, and this is why we should learn and think endlessly. No matter what the outcome is, we learned something and also built a stronger mind.
I have made things very short, spend some time to think about it and you will see that many things in life shares this simple strategy.

Virus is just like us (human), a living entity fighting for survival, but "they" are far advanced in terms of technology and the understanding of our hu
man body. Why? Cause we never could stay ahead of "them". W
e could only frantically search for solutions (medication/prevention) after they launched their attack. They developed the technology to make us spread them through sneezing. Make use of our body and organs as "operating station/factories". Use other parts as fuel. They even take advantage of our traveling and social needs as their free-marketing. Eventually, we find a solution, they hold back and develop new technologies(and we actually think that we've won..) and then they launch their attack again. Think about it...
