In the article in the last session, you learned that you can accomplish more than you think. With that in mind, I want to talk about the importance of experimentation.
Great scientists like Galileo and Newton and great inventors like Edison and Ford experimented their way to success. They were not afraid to fail. They were problem-solvers.
If you want to succeed you need to become a problem-solver. The best way to start is by observing problems around you. When you come across a problem don’t ignore, fix it or find a solution.
Overtime you will become self-sufficient. You will learn how things work. You will learn how to effectively solve problems. Someday you might invent something or solve a problem that makes a major difference in people’s lives. This can form the basis of a vocation or a business.
Here are some questions that might help you. You will probably discover the answers to these questions through trial and error or experimentation:
- What are your strengths?
- What do you value?
- How do you perform?
- Where do you belong?
- What should you contribute?
These questions come from Managing Oneself by Peter Drucker. You must answer the first questions in order to answer the last questions.
