Hello everyone,

> The Difference Between Focus on Problems and
> Focus on Solutions:
> When NASA began the launch of astronauts
> into space, they found out that the pens
> wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't
> flow down to the writing surface). In order
> to solve this problem, they hired Andersen
> Consulting(Accenture today). It took them
> one decade and 12 million dollars. They
> developed a pen that worked at zero gravity,
> upside down, under water, in practically any
> surface including crystal and in a
> temperature range from below freezing to
> over 300 degrees C.

> The Russians used a pencil ...

> Question: What do you focus on?

> Have a great day!
