Everyone always seems to be spending all their energy finding solutions.  Solutions are great, sure, but most of the time, people aren't really addressing and embracing their problems. They're just finding solutions.

Solutions seem the best thing to spend time on.  Mostly, though, they don't really solve the problem. They just sorta wink at it.

I say, forget trying to figure out the solution. Spend time, a lot of time, figuring out the problem. 

If you really know what the problem is, the solution is so plainly obvious it doesn't need figuring out.
