The Correct Solution. :

Once, a king wanted to find a wise man to be his Prime Minister. So according to a plan, he made a riddle. “A man has a boat to cross the river. Only two can go in the boat at one time. The man has to take a lion, a goat and a bundle of grass to the other bank so that in a way no one will eat the other. What will he do?”

No one in the kingdom could give the answer. Then a young man went to the king and said, “Your Majesty, the man will take the goat to the other bank. Then he will go to get the lion. He will bring the lion to the other bank and take back the goat with him. Then he will take the grass to the lion because lion won’t eat the grass. He will row back to get the goat to the other bank.”

The king was amazed by his cleverness because he had never let the grass and the goat or the lion and the goat to be together.

So the king was sure of his intelligence and appointed him as the Prime Minister.  (http://www.english-for-students.com/The-Correct-Solution.html)

    Not a lot. Just not drinking and still going to meetings. Waiting for the holidays to be over and get my life back in to a regular rhythm so I don’t feel so anxious.

    I am learning that saying something (anything) is impossible sets it up to be just that. Sometimes what I say is impossible is simply something I do not want to do; or it means that I am unwilling to ask for help in seeking a solution.

    Tonite’s speaker runs a recovery outfit and threw a refrigerator down the stairs. That prolly doesn’t qualify as constructive behavior. Her solution was to pause before actions. Sounds simple enug. And its something I need to do more often next time I try to beat red lights on the streets.

  5. easy does it

    constructive behavior.. what a concept..lol, yes to frame a problem in such a way that allows a solution.
    lately ive been keeping in touch with my sponsor following direction, which is always a good answer to stay in the solution.
