Solving Puzzle : Solution orientation, Collaboration & Simple Lessons

On a Saturday morning, a very casual exchange on social media on solving a simple puzzle turned out to be a good learning..

Here you go: The puzzle was move just ONE match to fix the equation..

In a minute or two, someone posted a solution 8 - 4 = 4.

I knew we have more answers than one.. Kept pushing friends.. I got more answers....

            5 + 4 = 9;

            0 + 4 = 0;

and one answer with "out of box thinking" came :

            5 + 4 ≠ 4 (You may be thinking who are these people : you are right, of course, from engineers)

May be there are more answers ! But the following lessons are learnt :

a. Solutions will come when you look at the problem, not just as problem, but work to find the solution

DEVELOP the attitude of SOLUTION ORIENTATION

b. You will have more solutions when you collaborate with your team  

To find more solutions and better solutions, COLLABORATE

c. Every solution is correct and each one is right for his or her solution

At the end, the important one, every PROBLEM has SOLUTION(s).
