Chaos, Patterns, and Learning

First there’s confusion. 

There are facts and biases, feelings and observations, rules and constraints. People disagree. They fight for what they believe.

What do you do? 

You have to experiment. Poke at the confusion. What moves? How does it move? Where does it go? What does it leave behind?

Problem solving is finding order in chaos - recognizing the patterns that occur in a seemingly “pattern free” environment. 

Before there is a purpose, there’s confusion.

You learn when you’re not afraid to jump into the chaos and look for a path.

It's very natural to move away from chaos. The problem is that most everything that's second nature to you now was confusing when you first encountered it. Where would you be if you had turned tail and ran?

Ann, I like the way you tolerate ambiguity enroute to getting to the "real issues." Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes we tend to let go in the confusion and turn back in the ambiguity -- before we reach that purpose you laid out. What do you think?
