What I learned from an argument

Well I do remember this argument I had with someone a long while back. We were trying trying to solve a problem that had unexpectedly came our way. We both tried to figure out a way to solve our problem and that led to our argument. I focused on the problem only, trying to figure out one solution to our problem. While the other person tried to figure out many other solutions to our problem without focusing on one solution only. We did ended up find the solution to our little problem but what the other person said really did make me think differently now. If we focus on the problem itself, we might miss the easy solution.
