A problem-oriented mindset is not about seeing obstacles—it's about finding solutions. 🚀
🔍 Instead of reacting emotionally, leaders & teams analyze situations from different angles, unlocking hidden opportunities.

💡 A shift in strategy often leads to greater clarity & better outcomes.
### 📌 The 5-Step Structured Approach to Problem-Solving:
✅ Define the Problem – Clearly identify the issue.
🔍 Study the Problem – Gather data & understand the impact.
🔎 Find the Root Cause – Identify the "why" behind the issue.
🛠 Identify Corrective Actions – List effective countermeasures.
🔄 Apply Solutions (PDCA Approach) – Plan, Do, Check, Adjust.

This framework works repeatedly across all life situations—yet, most people give up at Step 1, blaming fate instead of evolving.

🔥 Success comes to those who don’t stop at the first hurdle, but keep searching...

Everyone has an opinion on many subjects
and is ready to share those opinions -
labeling them as "truth."
Sometimes it is relatively easy
to filter out these opinions.
Upon hearing an ad for the latest
weight-loss powder on late-night TV,
our skepticism leaps to our defense.
However, if we have heard the same opinion for years
from our parents, friends,
government officials, or religious leaders,
we are more likely to believe without questioning
than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.

May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
a moonbeam to charm you,
a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to you.
Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.

May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.

May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion,
but not their own facts.
- Daniel Patrick Moynihan

When we blindly adopt a religion,
a political system, a literary dogma,
we become automatons. We cease to grow.

If you would be a real seeker after truth,
it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt,
as far as possible, all things.
- Rene Descartes

Believe those who are seeking the truth.
Doubt those who find it.

Facts Don't Change With One's Opinions Or Beliefs.

The presence of those seeking the truth
is infinitely to be preferred
to the presence of those who think they've found it.

Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip is expanding to seize “large areas” of the Palestinian territory.
Israel Katz said in a written statement that Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip is “expanding to crush and clean the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure and capture large areas that will be added to the security zones of the State of Israel”.

He called on Gaza residents to “expel Hamas and return all hostages”.
The militant group still holds 59 captives, of whom 24 are believed to still be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals.
The war began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on October 7 2023, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages.

Israel’s offensive has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians, including hundreds killed in strikes since a ceasefire ended about two weeks ago, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Israel says it has killed around 20,000 militants

As Israel orders wide new evacuations across the Gaza Strip, Palestinians say they are crushed by exhaustion and hopelessness at the prospect of fleeing once again. Many are packing a few belongings and trudging off in search of new shelters. Some say they just can’t bear to move.

When ordered out of Jabaliya in northern Gaza, Ihab Suliman and his family could only grab some food and blankets before making their way south March 19. It was their eighth time fleeing over the past 18 months of war.

“There is no longer any taste to life," said Suliman, a former university professor. "Life and death have become one and the same for us.”
Suliman is among the tens of thousands of Palestinians who have fled temporary shelters since Israel shattered a 2-month-old ceasefire on March 18 with renewed bombardment and ground assaults.
Daunted by the notion of starting over, some Palestinians are ignoring the latest evacuation orders — even if it means risking their lives.

For Chinese auto part suppliers, Americans are picking up the tab for Trump's tariffs.
If you’ve ever fixed your own car brakes, the part you bought could very well have been made by Chinese auto parts supplier Judy Zhang.

That’s on top of a 25% tariff imposed during President Donald Trump’s first term, plus 20% tariffs he has imposed on Chinese imports since returning to office in January. Trump announced an additional 34% levy on Chinese imports as part of “reciprocal” tariffs imposed on countries around the world, bringing the total combined tariff on Chinese goods to at least 54%.

Though Trump insists that China, among other countries, will pay for the U.S. tariffs, Zhang and other auto parts suppliers say that the tariffs will most likely be shouldered by American consumers and that they won’t bring manufacturing in their industry back to the United States.

Germany is deploying troops to another country on a long-term basis for the first time since World War II.
It's putting thousands of soldiers in Lithuania, a NATO member that borders Russia.

It described the move as an effort to protect NATO. Germany's defense spending is also rising.
Germany's armed forces, the Bundeswehr, announced on Tuesday that they'd created a new brigade, the 45th Armored Brigade, to be stationed in Lithuania.

It will be the first long-term deployment of German soldiers to another country since World War II.
Brig. Gen. Christoph Huber, the commander of the 45th Armored Brigade, said that with its creation, "we're not only moving toward operational readiness, we're taking responsibility."
"For the alliance, for Lithuania, for Europe's security," he said. "As a sign of our determination to defend peace and freedom with our partners."
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has sparked a surge of defense agreements and spending among European countries.

The U.S. is increasing its military presence in the Middle East as a war of words between Iran and President Donald Trump over Iran's nuclear ambitions sent tensions spiraling in recent days.

The Pentagon extended the deployment of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier strike group and ordered a second flotilla to the Middle East, Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed Tuesday. It also sent additional warplanes to the region, including F-35 fighters and B-2 stealth bombers, according to a U.S. official.

The posture shift came as Trump threatened to bomb Iran if the country does not strike a deal over its nuclear weapons capabilities.
"If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing," he said.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei hit back on Monday that, while Iran believes a U.S. strike is unlikely, "if they commit any mischief they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow."

Chinese President Xi Jinping is to be the guest of honour when Russia marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II with the annual Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square on May 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"We are preparing a good and extensive programme," Putin said on receiving Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Moscow. He highlighted the significance of relations between the two countries.

China is Russia's most important ally, and the two leaders are seen as close on a personal level. Moscow and Beijing constantly stress the depth of their bilateral relations and have continued to do so following a change of course in Washington since US President Donald Trump took office in January and revived ties with Moscow.

China has not imposed sanctions on Russia in relation to the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and Xi visited Russia the next year, when the two leaders signed an agreement on economic cooperation up to 2030.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday demanded Hamas disarm and its leaders depart Gaza as he promised to step up military operations against the group.
His comments come after the Hamas leader in Gaza said it had agreed to a ceasefire proposed by mediators Egypt and Qatar that included the release of five Israeli hostages each week.

Those efforts are aimed at renewing a two-month truce that saw the exchange of Israelis kidnapped by Palestinian militants for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli detention.
Israel resumed strikes and ground incursions into Gaza on March 18.
The Hamas leader said Israel's demands it lay down its arms was a "red line" the group would not cross.
Netanyahu said he was conducting negotiations and military operations simultaneously, a strategy he said "creates the conditions for the release of our hostages."

Hamas warns those who 'spread chaos' after killing of its police officer.
A Gaza family's open admission this week that they killed an officer from the Hamas-run police force after they said a relative was shot dead has added to signs of popular dissent against the militant group after 18 months of war with Israel.

It drew a warning from the Hamas-run interior ministry that actions that undermined public order would not be tolerated.

But following protests against Hamas by hundreds of demonstrators in northern Gaza last month, the incident underscored the increasing willingness of some Gaza civilians to voice criticism or act against Hamas, which has run the Palestinian enclave since defeating the rival Fatah faction in 2007.
Palestinians also rallied in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, chanting "Hamas out" and "Enough death" in renewed protests against the Islamist faction.

The Trump administration is exploring a can-you-top-this financial maneuver if it were to obtain Greenland.

The White House cost analysis of a takeover is to essentially “offer a sweeter deal” to the semi-autonomous Danish territory’s government than Denmark does. The Danes allocate about $600 million a year to services for the island, WaPo estimated.

The U.S. offer under White House consideration “is a lot higher than that,” an official familiar with the plans told the Post. “The point is, ‘We’ll pay you more than Denmark does.’”

In a visit to Greenland last week, Vice President JD Vance accused Denmark of underinvesting in the territory. “You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,” he said to the European nation. The Danish foreign minister admonished Vance for using such a tone with an ally.
President Donald Trump’s “musings” about annexing Greenland have morphed into concrete government action.

Japanese Trade Minister Yoji Muto said on Thursday that Japan is leaving all options open to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's newly announced tariffs.
Muto said he had held an online meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just before Trump's announcement, to repeat Japan's demand for an exemption from the tariffs, which he called "extremely regrettable".

"We need to decide what is best for Japan, and most effective, in a careful but bold and speedy manner," he said, when asked whether Japan would retaliate.

Muto said his ministry would establish a task force to analyse the impact of the tariffs, which Trump said would amount to 24% for Japan, and provide information to affected parties.
A previously announced 25% tariff on car imports are set to take effect as scheduled on Thursday U.S. time, in a major blow to the Japanese auto industry, which accounts for roughly 3% of gross domestic product.

Muto said Japan had "serious concerns" over whether Trump's

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that closes a trade loophole known as "de minimus" that has allowed low-value packages from China and Hong Kong to enter the United States free of duties.

Trump signed the order, which takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time May 2, in the Rose Garden of the White House after announcing sweeping new tariffs on global trading partners.

The White House said the move, came after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick certified "adequate systems are in place to collect tariff revenue" on the shipments.
It said imported goods from China and Hong Kong sent outside the international postal network and valued at or under $800 would now be subject to all applicable duties.

Imported goods sent through the postal network and valued at or under $800 would now be subject to a duty rate of either 30% of their value or $25 per item, with that rate increasing to $50 per item after June 1.

U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The messages delivered by Washington in recent weeks come as the EU takes steps to boost Europe's weapons industry, while potentially limiting purchases of certain types of U.S. arms.

The Trump administration's early foreign policy steps, including briefly cutting military aid for Ukraine and easing pressure on Moscow, have deeply unnerved European allies, prompting many to ask if the United States is a reliable partner.
In mid-March, the European Commission, the EU's executive body, proposed boosting military spending and pooling resources on joint defense projects, as Europe girds for decreased U.S. military engagement under President Donald Trump.

Wall Street reacts to Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff surprise, stocks sink.
President Trump surprised markets again on Wednesday, announcing steep reciprocal tariffs on a range of trading partners in addition to a "baseline" reciprocal tariff rate of 10% in a move that sent markets tumbling.

"The tariffs were definitely worse than we had anticipated," Deutsche Bank senior US economist Brett Ryan told Yahoo Finance.
For example, Chinese imports are set to be hit by a 34% tariff while imports from the European Union will be dealt 20% tariffs. Trump said the tariff calculations were actually only "half" of what they could've been had the administration chose to match White House estimates of how other countries tariff the US.
Stocks sold off sharply following Trump's announcement.
The decline in US stock futures was led by Nasdaq 100 futures, which were down more than 4.5% near 6:15 p.m. ET. S&P 500 futures were down 3.5% while contracts tied to the Dow were off closer to 2.2%.

Breaking Sen. Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest Senate speech in history was just one of the things Sen. Cory Booker accomplished on Tuesday.
Portions of his 25-hour-and-five-minute speech, which began Monday evening and ended Tuesday night, were viewed by millions of Americans, either on social media, on evening newscasts, at a time when President Trump has dominated headlines.

On his Senate website, the New Jersey Democrat touted some early numbers that the speech generated, including more than 350 million likes on the senator’s TikTok livestream of the speech.

The speech was also live-streamed on a number of other channels, including C-SPAN and the Associated Press, and led many national newscasts. For much of Tuesday, and especially as he drew closer to breaking the record set by Thurmond, a South Carolina Democrat, Booker became a trending topic on social media platforms like TikTok, BlueSky and X, whose former owner, Elon Musk, Booker criticized throughout the speech
