Ever been in a situation where everything was out of proportion?

Question

As in, all others were treating the problem with an utterly serious approach, and you can see a perfectly simple solution that would otherwise be unnoticed?

How did you react?

Did you go against the majority opinion in order to make your proposal known??

Answer 1

Yeah most of the time people need to stand back and the see the obvious. If I saw an obvious solution I'd definitely go against the grain and point it out. Embarrassment last 10s, doing something stupid lasts a lifetime.

In a lot of emergency situations people stand back and do nothing to help thinking, oh someone else will help. Don't think like that, think if I do nothing someone will get hurt or worse.

Answer 2

It seems like this happens a lot with people who are directly involved.. then the person that isnt can look at the issue without much bias or feeling of hurt, anger, etc.

This is why I usually just ask a second opinion. I don't always take it, but I sure think about it.

A lot of people blow things out of prop. these days.
