An ill-posed problem is an unsolved problem!

From my profession I see it very often, and I would like to start with this story:
A Cuban patient went to see the doctor, because according to him, he was being overwhelmed by a serious illness...
- (...) doctor... doctor, I have a very serious problem and it is very likely that I have a bad illness, a few days ago I realized that wherever I touch myself it hurts, I have already taken all kinds of medicines, in capsules and syrup and I don't get better, it doesn't go away with anything.
While he touched each part of his body, it caused him to emit a groan of pain, because apparently every cell in his body hurt, that's what happened when he touched different parts of his body, over and over again he emitted the same groan.
Therefore, the doctor carefully examined the concerned patient, while, at the conclusion of his physical examination, he answered him.
- Touch my forehead, please.
The somewhat surprised patient proceeded to touch the doctor's forehead and ipso facto emitted the same groan of pain, thus leading the doctor to issue his final diagnosis.
- That disease that you have, that disease that overwhelms you so much and has led you to take all kinds of drugs and syrups, is the fractured index finger.
It is more than evident that a badly posed problem will be a problem that will not have a solution, the word problem itself, on many occasions has taken over our daily environment, even, sometimes these do not have the connotation that we often give them, Without realizing that the solution is practically around the corner, we do and undo all kinds of juggling, to the point that we end up drowning in a glass of water.
If we really have a problem, the first thing we must do is define what that problem is, but from the point of view of using those more efficient techniques that are within our reach, by the time we have it defined, we can be absolutely certain that this is really the problem. evil that really overwhelms us, and thus act accordingly, directly attacking the causes that cause said problem and be able to reach and reach this desired state of harmony and happiness.
