Focus 10 % on the problem and 90% on the solution?

Question

What do you think of this? Is it true....does it foster success?

Answer 1

I agree kind of.

I think what that says is that if you spend all your time focusing (dwelling) on the problem and not trying to find a solution then it's possible that you will never be able to succeed in solving the problem to begin with.  

Identify the problem, acknowledge it as a challenge and then spend more of your time overcoming it, by focusing on finding a solution there is a better chance of success.

Answer 2

i'd go as far as dropping the 10%
