Problem Solvers

For children at home and their parents, boredom is not a problem.  It is an opportunity.  Why are you going to school or trying to learn on-line?  Let’s look at the job market for when a child grows up.  Be it blue collar, white collar or no collar, bosses are all looking for a certain kind of person.  They are looking for critical thinkers and problem solvers.  Rote jobs will be done by machines and robots, machines that look like us.  Even on assembly lines, management is looking for workers who think how a job can be done better, more efficiently, less costly.  Problem solvers.  No one is looking for a worker in an office who is “bored” and calls Mom to say, “I am bored, Mom.  Do something to make me happy.”  So suck it up kid.  Boredom is an opportunity to solve a problem on your own.  So blog readers, if you are bored reading this, shame on you!  Oops, I got off message.  If you are bored then see it as a problem, a game to solve.  The solution might be right in front or nearby your creative imagination.  Happy Mother’s Day to all those Mom’s who told their kids to go figure it out.
