"It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem"
G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936)
"Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists"
Edward de Bono
