The essence of the term "problem-challenge and opportunity", which encourages individuals to interpret problems as challenges and opportunities.
In 2009, my Ph.D. professors made me aware of the term "problem, challenge and opportunity". It encouraged me to not see problems as situations which might be impossible to correct but as situations which have solutions. Nine-years later, to simplify and capture the essence of that novel three-word term, I invented the term OPTOIMPROVE. If problems did not come our way we would stop growing. Fredrick Douglas said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress." And my Mother taught me that, "In life there is always a solution".
