your title, your real job is “problem solver.” This is what you do
all day long. It is this ability that makes you valuable. You are a
professional problem solver. Your success in your career is deter-
mined by how effectively you solve the problems and achieve the
goals of your position.
Never complain about your problems at work. You should be
grateful for them. If you had no problems at work, you would
have no job. When people become unable to solve the problems
that arise in their work, they are quickly replaced by people 
who can. When you become an excellent problem solver, you 
are quickly promoted to solving even bigger and more impor-
tant problems.
From now on, see yourself as a problem solver. The only ques-
tion is,
how good are you at your job?
Your goal is to become ab-
solutely excellent at solving any problem that the world can throw
at you.
