     Textbook page 183-185
  • According to the The Road Less Traveled
     written by: Dr. M. Scott Peck, there are four
     tools or techniques for solving problems:
   1. Delayed gratification
   2. Accepting responsibility
   3. Dedication to truth or reality
   4. Balance
       How Do I Get It?
  1. Delayed Gratification
  • Is difficult because the rewards of living only 
   for the moment are more tangible.
  • As you learn to delay gratification – put off the 
   temporary joys of today in favor of lasting 
   rewards in the future – you will be acquiring 
   an important tool in solving problems.

      2.  Accepting Responsibility
      •  Passing the blame is not effective in solving problems. When 
         the problem is yours so is the responsibility to solve it.
      •  Taking responsibility also gives you the opportunity to choose.
      •  You are responsible to becoming the person you want to be!
      •  Do not do something you feel is not truly you or not 
         something you want to become. You can 
         just say no!

  3.  Dedication to Truth or Reality
  • Wishful thinking…. has not been shown 
  to be an effective way to solve problems.
  • For example, we still see ads proclaiming 
  that you can lose weight painlessly, or 
  make a million dollars at home in your 
  spare time.
