Houston, We Have a Problem

On the 28th, we had our first group discussion. We were to figure out how each of us were connected, how we worked out problems, and to come up with a decent group name. We also talked about how we look at things in the world, what framed our perspectives on life and how the world works. I found that we all shared a similar reflection on working out problems and taking each day one day at a time.

How does your chosen profession (or the one you think you want to pursue) "see" a problem"? 
In my chosen profession, if I came upon a problem, I would see it as a puzzle and try to solve it in the best way possible. Having different perspectives on a problem can help you open your eyes to see new ways of fixing and solving. So trying to be open minded and positive can help bring about a good outcome. If discouraged, as some might get when challenged with a difficult problem, try try again, and as always keep an open mind and eye out for new possibilities.

Welcome to Your New Group Blog

Here's what you now need to do:
After each of you completes this first post, I'll enter your grades (see the guidelines for criteria). Then, I'll promote your roles from Authors to Admins so you have more control over design, layout, and features. In addition to the required postings and pages that we'll discuss later, you can post to your group blog as often as you like anything else related to what you're learning. Share ideas, notes, pictures, videos, links to other sites, etc. This is your space to explore and collaborate.
Have fun, and good luck! - Michael
