How to solve a problem

 I apply the following approach to solve a problem:

1. Look at the problem holistically.
2. Break the problem down into distinct parts
3. Identify the parts that can be solved, based on past knowledge and experience.
4. Carry out trial on the other parts and find the possible solution
5. Put them together.

I am usually able to find a complete solution to the problem.

This is how I solve a tangram puzzle as well.
It worked perfectly.
I can solve a difficult tangram puzzle using this approach.

Solving, without creating further problems, one needs to anticipate all the consequences of the solution you are trying to solve. To solve problems with a minimum of unwanted consequences, you have to be very knowledgeable of the action taken. Solving a problem is not just about increasing taxes or money. Which is to say, you probably need a lot of living with the problem with first-hand experience within the system you are implementing.

If leaders give us answers that are too good to be true, it probably is. So far they have not extensively researched the experience of other people who have to live with that particular problem?

Whilst most of the problems are created by their policies, some people create their own problems. A good example is when someone buys a house knowingly next to a road, and whinges about traffic noises. Unless of course, the road was built after the house was bought?

You will not understand what real problem is till you deal with the bureaucracy.

Why do people chase grades?

Universities, JCs and secondary schools admission look at grades.

Scholarship organizations look at grades.

Employers look at grades before even sending you for an interview.

However, you should also remember that you don’t need a perfect score to be successful.

Who are people trying to kid when they say schools and institutions are for learning.

Some people may be good at what they do, but because they find it difficult to put it down on paper, therefor exams are not for them.

Who is mentally abusing who? Patient or Healthcare.

Went down in person to Orchard M. Elizabeth Hospital for a record of my stay there a few years ago.
The front desk said they do not have a counter for such services and I was given an email address.
Sent an email. Came back email giving me a number to call like an auto-answer.
Called the number but was told that the number was only for making appointments.

Bars, nightclubs, discotheques and karaoke should remain shut. This enclosed super spreader

only caters to a small clique and is something people can live without?

Good idea.
We have sacrificed our families and living for the past two half years and more than one hundred billion. If clusters from these places start like wildfire, we have nobody to blame
but the government just to please the minority at the expense of the majority.

Why the country does not feel safe anymore? Whether it is the cameras now taking the place of

police prescence or that people have now become less tolerant or mentally unstable or both. As

Singapore is well-famed for its reputation as a low crime city, the Clark Quay incident reads

like a scene from the movies. Nowadays, I never stop worrying about my family when they are

out, more so the night drinking scene- the fights, drugs and the alcohol.

The brandishing of knives-how are these magic pills ended up being taken by ill-educated

and gullible persons who were spaced out and out of touch with reality. When tasers failed

the onus was not on the equipment but the dangerous men themselves, therefore the

policemen's life was in danger they had to shoot. So what about the lives of these

dangerous men? Their lives mean nothing because tasers were not strong enough?

We need leaders who can think out of the box, not just there to do a job! Fuxk them.

It is just not possible to police everyone's every move. If anyone wants to take the risk to get infected, it is up to them. Highly suggested to have nightlives(bars, nightclubs.....) to open. Government cannot advocate for some and not others( no matter how easily spread Covid).
We are in an inclusive society.

Police trained to fire at the centre of the body to stop the threat of serious injury or death: Shanmugam

Any lame excuse becomes the justification. In other countries police only shoot if someone was about to ignite a bomb or plunging a knife into someone or possess a gun. Here they shoot because their taser not functioning?

When you justify, it seems to matter very little if your excuse is of no validity.

A policeman and a criminal were facing and pointing a gun at each other.

If the policeman shoots the criminal, it would be considered safety protection.

If the criminal shoots at the police it is called murder.
