Interestingly, the captioned quote as appended below begins to make more sense, as I look at the string of inspiring quotes from Dr Maxwell Maltz, writing in his Psycho-Cybernetics classic:

• "We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve."

• "Life is all about problems; if you want to be happy, you have to learn to smile despite problems,... "

• "It (referring to happiness) cannot be made contingent upon solving some external problem. When one problem is solved, another appears to take its place. Life is a series of problems...."

As a matter of fact, Protestant clergyman, and an author best known for popularizing the concept of positive thinking, Norman Vincent Peale, said it elegantly:

"The only people who don't have problems are in a cemetery."

My Comments:

This is certainly a novel spin of the popular 5 Whys (sometimes known as 5 Y) technique orginally designed to help engineers get to the root of a problem quickly.

It was created by Sakichi Toyoda, the Japanese industrialist, inventor, and founder of Toyota Industries.

It became popular in the 1970s, and reportedly Toyota still uses it to solve problems today.
