Are you a good problem solver? Think about the problems you've encountered in your own life. Have your solutions worked out better for some than others? Why do you think it works out that way? Were you too tired and/or stressed to think clearly and just jumped in blindly? Did you need advice and fail to seek it? Did you get advice and fail to take it? We all do that sometimes.

As you work on your topic Proposing a Solution remember, as we discussed in class, find a need. Maybe a niche need-- an activity for which a person or thing is best fitted. Think close to home ....
