Unterstand the people understand the problem
At first, I want to say that there are not really 33 secrets in this text most of them mention the same things and are repeated from the various authors. Moreover, they are not really secret. I have heard most of them before and they apply to every region and problem just the environment changes.
Nevertheless, my favorite Point is “understand “.
Ethan Zuckerman said “Don’t fight culture”, Amy Smith said “Listen to the right people.”, and Paul Polak said “talk to the people who have the problem”.
This all means pretty much the same.
If you want to solve a problem for someone, you have to understand him and the problem. What does he do, and in what way, where is the problem? Is the water bucket to heavy, does it have a h*** and he is losing halve the water on the way home, is the way to long or does it just take too long? You can try to guess the answer or to solve all problems but at the same time, you could miss the important one. You could try to live like them and with them but even then, you don’t have a guarantee you solve their problem and not just yours. Understanding is the founding point in every solution-finding project. Whatever the problem maybe and however the solution looks like.
So is talking and listening the answer? Sadly, it’s not that easy. Everyone has problems but we are not always s aware of our problems and even the ones we know of we have problems to explain and describe them. I think I’m quite good at understanding others and that greatly helps me solving their problems. A lot of failures on market and society are based on a missing understanding of the people and the environment and I sure we could have prevented them and the loss of resources if we would have talked to the people before.
The picture we have comes mostly from the media, television, radios newspaper and all the other they have one problem in common, they try to sell. They don’t show you the wh*** picture they only show what they think they can sell best to their customers. The picture in this article (sorry don’t have English source for this picture but the picture alone is very good) shows this very good and even this picture and even this article is made by a news company.
