Every problem encodes its own solutions (and usually a variety of related solutions) in its structure. The ‘shell’ of the problem is the seeming ‘threat’ it poses. Inside the shell there are ‘fruit’. Not one, many. Different kinds, too.

But most people want to have a really serious reaction to the threatening shell. And they don’t know what else to do. Worse, anyone who does, especially if they demonstrate this, may often be seen as a threat. But just understand how the whole thing works. Because you can learn to see the fruit inside by the shape of the shell, and once that happens?

No problem will stop you from retrieving the solutions encoded in its structure. And the prodigy you were born with will return, instantly, and profoundly.
