Owl’s Insight 🦉🔮
🔹 The Art of Problem-Solving
🧩 How do I make decisions?
Before solving any problem, I analyze all available data—including those factors that were never explicitly mentioned. I already know what the answer will be.
I see the final statement in the solution:
Answer: ________.
All that’s left is to “write” a beautiful solution that leads to the correct outcome.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned in my physics-math school was the difference between solving a problem and being in the process of solving it.
In a regular school, we wrote: Solution.
In my school, it was strictly required to write: Solving.
And that difference is profound.
I especially loved stereometry problems, where the best approach was to start with a Plan for Solving the Problem.
This method allowed me to create a clear algorithm of thought, making it obvious how I was approaching the solution. Even if I didn’t finish the full solution in an exam, the logic was visible, and partial credit was given for the structured approach.
This habit has shaped the way I think—I don’t just find answers, I construct clear, structured pathways to them.
🎠Why do I always win in uncertainty?
Because I embrace any possible outcome as something that will bring me even greater advantages than the one I originally planned as “correct.”
🚀 My strategy for success.
I never undervalue my perfectionism.
A job done with high quality gives me freedom—it allows me to move forward without constantly reworking past mistakes.
And when (or if) I later discover an error, I see it as a meaningful insight rather than a failure.
For example, how do you construct perspective so that the vanishing point doesn’t move away but instead draws the observer in? 🫣
✨ I love beautiful solutions!
