Development comes faster if we refuse to adhere to one type of problem solving, and instead adapt ourselves to suit the problem. When you are presented with a problem, instead of diving straight in, always take time to reflect upon the best way of tackling it. When you are in a flow state, it provides a sense of euphoria and presence. It allows us to become far more connected to ourself. BEST MOMENTS 'Seeing the world as a puzzle has improved my life' 'The key to life is being much more flexible in your thinking' 'Ask yourself - is there a better way to do this?'
