YY Hex 11
Yin and Yang represent two fundamental
forces that create and harmonize the
Universe by their interaction.
The State of Peace, Good Fortune, and
Success
In the state of peace, good fortune, and
success (I-Ching, Hexagram 11), Yin, the
Receptive, which moves downward, stands
above; Yang, the Creative, which moves
upward, is below.
Hence their influences meet and are in
harmony, so that all living things bloom
and prosper.
This is the state of peace, good
fortune, and success.
Maintain Strategic Balance
Like everything on Earth, this state of
peace, good fortune and success is
subject to change, however.
Prosperity is followed by decline: this
is the eternal law. Evil can be held in
check for a while but not permanently
abolished. It always returns.
Yet, this is not a tragedy. It shouts
just to keep us from falling into the
illusion that good fortune comes to us
automatically.
If we are mindful of the danger, we
remain persevering and make less
mistakes. As long as your inner nature
remains stronger and richer than
anything offered by external fortune, as
long as you remain inwardly superior to
fate, fortune will not desert you

Costas:
This is a great statement dear Vadim. We
tend to getting lost in complexities and
assume that difficult or complex
problems SHOULD have difficult or
complex solutions. Then we ignore simple
and direct solutions which most of the
time are better and easier and faster to
reach to.

HAPPY
VICTOR
Master of Happiness
The two main sources of happiness are
enjoying what you have and creating new
things. Happiness is about life-business
synergy: love your life, love what you
have, do what you love to do, and strive
to make other people happier.
Creative Achiever
Follow your heart and intuition. Your
passion will lead you to inspiration and
completion. That's all you need. Follow
your inner direction, not external
suggestions. Don't split your energy. By
trying to chase many rabbits at once,
you'll catch neither. Focus, if you wish
to hit the mark, and pursue your true
passion, if you wish to be creative.
Creativity is your key to a brighter
future. Creativity gives you an
incredible source of adventure,
achievement, self-discovery, connection,
spirituality, awakening, self-worth,
identity, healing, happiness, energy,
and power.
Yin and Yang: the State of Piece, Good
Fortune, and Success
Yin, the Receptive, which moves
downward, stands above; Yang, the
Creative, which moves upward, is below.
Hence their influences meet and are in
harmony, so that all living things bloom
and prosper. This is the state of peace,
good fortune, and success. Like
everything on Earth, this state is
subject to change, however. Yet, if you
are mindful of challenges, you remain
persevering and make less mistakes. As
long as your inner nature remains
stronger and richer than anything
offered by external fortune, as long as
you remain inwardly superior to fate,
success and fortune will not desert you.

Problem Defined
A
problem is simply the difference between what you have and what you want.
It may be a matter of getting something, of getting rid of something, of
avoiding something, or of getting to know what you want.
|
|
|
Focus on Solutions
Your
attitude is extremely important. When you
think of problems you'll only attract more problems. When you think of
solutions – you'll attract solutions and opportunities. Approach the problem
with the expectant attitude that there is an innovative practical solution
just waiting to be found. Be relaxed, confident and clear in your
mind.

Yin (passive,
receptive) and Yang (active, creative) are both opposing forces and
complementary pairs. Problems arise not when the two forces are
battling, but when there is an imbalance between them in the
environment.
Conflicts, business problems,
health
disorders, divorce, and other problems – all can be attributed to
disharmony in the forces of
Yin and Yang...

Working Backward
The working backwards technique tells
us to consciously start from the end of the process and develop it
step by step from there. To
achieve success,
vividly imagine that you have already achieved your goal,
visualize
the whole picture, then walk back and examine the pathway toward
your goal...

Sometimes the
situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at
in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no

Two Approaches to Solving Organization's Problems
It has been said that 98% of an organization's problems can be solved
routinely. However, the remaining 2% of an organization's problems –
the problems that have the greatest effect on the organization – require
→
innovation
to surmount.
Build
cross-functional expertise
to be able to find innovative solutions to old problems. Simple solutions to
many problems are often just nearby – waiting for you to find them.
Solving People Problems
People problems are inevitable. Various people
problems arise from the differences in
→
perceptions, negative
emotions, or unclear communication. The greatest communication problem is
that the message sent is not the message received. Often, the problem or the
conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people heads.
To prevent or
→
solve
people problems,
base your relationships on accurate perceptions, friendly and clear
communication,
empathetic
listening, appropriate emotions, and forward-looking positive outlook.
→
Put yourself in their shoes to understand their perceptions and the way
of their thinking. If you wish to achieve their psychological commitment to
a mutually satisfactory outcome, involve them in the problem solving process
and reaching that outcome...

cause. Asking "why" repeatedly, possibly more than five times, directs the
focus toward real causes so problems can be solved permanently...

The Power of
Prototyping
Prototyping can help you
tackle problems when you don't have the answers.
"When the project is especially complex,
prototyping is a way of making progress when the challenges seem
insurmountable. Focused prototyping helps resolve little critical problems
one by one. Once you get in gear, you'll be surprised at how easily some of
the solutions appear," writes Tom Kelly5 from
IDEO.
