Problem Finding Quotes

“Creative people are constantly surprised. They don’t assume that they understand what is happening around them, and they don’t assume that anybody else does either. They question the obvious—not out of contrariness but because they see the shortcomings of accepted explanations before the rest of us do. They sense problems before they are generally perceived and are able to define what they are.”
― Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention

“The problems we discover on our own are the ones that motivate us the most”
― Eric Weiner

“The quality of the problem that is found is a forerunner of the quality of the solution that is attained. It is in fact the discovery and creation of problems rather than any superior knowledge, technical skill, or craftsmanship, that often sets the creative person apart from others in his field.”
― Daniel H Pink
