You have a problem?

Success needs no explanation and failure tolerates no excuse.

Yet few people appreciate this point. Many people who fail, dole out excuses one after another, everyone and everything else is to blame except themselves. The situation is most pathetic, when owners, managers and leaders blame their own employees, team members and followers.

Their opening statement is "The problem is ........", and this is followed by a long tirade or moan of nonsense.

The first step in solving a 'problem' is, to learn what is the problem? Surprisingly most people have no idea what the problem is?

A problem is defined as an obstruction 'C' which prevents you from going from Situation 'A' to situation 'B'.

Unfortunately most people don't know where they are, where they want to get to and what is obstructing them. In that case the person does not have a problem, they just have an excuse for their failure.

How a Polish Potato Farmer prevented World War III

On 15 November 2022, a Ukrainian S-300 air defence missile struck a farm in the sleepy Polish village of Przewodów (population of 413) near the border with Ukraine and Belarus. NATO, the governments and media in the collective West immediately claimed it as an attack on Poland by Russia. Ukrainian President Zelensky and Polish president Andrzej Duda demanded an immediate emergency meeting to invoke article 5 of NATO's charter. This clause obliges NATO members to militarily support and join any country attacked by a non NATO country, in this case it was alleged to be Russia. When photographic and video images appeared on the internet posted by a local potato farmer on the site, it was clear to see that the wreckage which killed two farmers was a Soviet made S-300 air defence missile manufactured in early 1980s and currently being used by the Ukrainian forces. Some very disturbing questions arise, and demonstrates why Zelensky and his coterie and his Polish parters are so dangerous
