We have to face many types of problems in our daily lives. Problem-solving skills are a way that helps us get out of various obstacles and adversity. First, we need to understand the complexity of the problem and then analyze it. After that, using cognitive skills, considering the contingency of the situation, we can make the right decision. Through intuition and evaluative ability, we can easily extrapolate possible consequences and find solutions to problems. However, sometimes it is necessary to adopt perseverance and pragmatic approaches to get rid of divergence.
Finally, synthesis can be done—extracting a viable solution from various elements that helps bring about the resolution of the problem. These problem-solving skills play a major role in improving the quality of our lives in daily life.
