How are you running in a race of life
"As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are."
- Joan Benoit Samuelson (American Marathon Champion).
Life is like a marathon. Everyone is running in their own track to reach their goal.. But how they are running is what matters. I have learned two kinds of running in my life.
Running away from the fear
One time I had a plan to go to leasing office from my home by walk. While going on the way ,one goose started to chase me, so I have started running back to my home. Yes. I ran really hard but in the wrong direction because of my fear .In the same way people are running in their life just to get rid of the fear or problem instead of running towards the goal.
When you run with fear, instead of taking two steps forward you may either take one step back or change the direction.

Running towards a goal
Next time I fixed my problem(goose chasing) before I start .So I reached my destination in a right time. So solving problem is important to reach your target.
How to solve a problem
If I had a 60 minutes to solve the problem ,I spend 55 minutes to define the problem and 5 minutes to solve the problem. The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill"
Albert Einstein
You need to understand the problem and the roots of problem first before you find the solution.I would like to share with you all about 3 strategies to solve problem.
1.Trial and error strategy
A trial-and-error approach means trying a number of different solutions and ruling out those that do not work. It will work only when you have less option. Otherwise you need to narrow the options first then you could use this strategies.
2.Algorithm
This strategy is a step-by-step procedure that will always produce a correct solution.
For example using instruction manual for new software installation.
3.Heuristics
A heuristic is a mental shortcut that allows people to solve problems and make judgments quickly and efficiently. This strategy will shorten the decision-making time and allow people to function without constantly stopping to think about their next course of action. That means practice n practice!
In my perception,
Fix your problem before you start !!
All the very best to run in your own track!!
"I always loved running…it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs" Jesse Owens (Track and field athlete).
