How to approach a problem there is a proverb which states ''half of the solution is in the question itself". I really believe in this proverb. So, before starting to find a solution for my problem, Ido my best to understand it well and solve all the ambiguities in the question itself and come up with a clear question. I would not attack the problem straightaway after facing. I do not think it would be a very wise move. Most of the time, we can split a problem into several smaller problems. So, I prefer to divide my problem into smaller problems and put them in a logical order. I am not interested in spending my time thinking how to solve a problem that already has an answer unless I want to find out a better and more useful solution. In other words, I do not like to reproduce science. instead, I believe that science is like a staircase and, as a researcher, our moral duty is to add a new stair at head of the stairs, not to erect a new one in parallel with it and develop science. So, I would go consult some experts about my problem. I would ask them three important questions. First, is there already a solution for this problem? I would ask where I can find the solution if the answer is positive. If not, I would ask them to give me some advice on it and also a good and optimal starting point. In this way, not only can I gain maximum benefit from their experience and knowledge, bu I also can save a sizable amount of my time. It would be after consulting with experts that I would really start working on the problem. Over the time period I am working on the problem, I would consult the experts regularly.
