Difference Between Focus on Problems, and Focus on Solutions !!

When NASA began the launch of Astronauts into the Space, they found out that the normal fountain pen wouldn't work at zero gravity, i.e. the ink won't flow down to the writing the surface. In order to solve this problem, they hired m/s Andersen Consulting group(Accenture today). It took them 4 years and $ 12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And you know, what did Russians do.......................................??











They used a Pencil instead !!!


So, learn to focus on solutions not on problems.

Yet, someone said "Focus on problem leads to inventions! and Focus on solution
leads to discoveries"

Gujarati sahab,
Your philosophy regarding focussing on solutions rather thn problems is good !
But unfortunately, d Nasa pen example is a hoax !

The famous space pen, which is still a popular product today, was developed by Paul Fisher the founder of the Fisher pen company. An engineer who improved ball point technology, he created his "bullet pen" in the 1940's, which became one of the best-selling pens of the Twentieth Century. Later, he perfected a pen that was sealed with pressure inside of the cartridge that made the ink to flow regardless of gravity. It also worked in high and low temperature extremes, underwater, and wrote on many kinds of surfaces. According to the Fisher Pen company, after extensive testing, NASA chose the pen in 1967 for use by Apollo astronauts and it's been a part of space travel ever since. The company says it took Fisher about 2 years and $2 million to develop the space pen. Prior to 1967, there were no pens that worked in space so there were pencils used, but there were concerns about pencil dust floating around the space capsules as well as fears that if the tip of a pencil broke off and drifted into the electronics, there would be problems.

This pen is avaliable for abt 25 USD nowadays !
