There are always at least three options
In the interest of self-optimization, many people are
seeking a single solution to a problem. However, this overlooks the fact that
focusing on a single approach carries a high level of risk of failure.
- Limiting oneself to a single solution prevents looking at other alternatives, which can result in potentially overlooking a better solution.
- Examining several alternatives provides valuable insights that can be considered in the final version.
- With a single solution that fails, the search has to start from scratch, while other alternatives could already represent plan B.
- One solution undermines the decision-making power of the decision-makers.
- Offering just one solution is an expression of your limited abilities and motivation.

Above all, one’s weaker self can be overcome by always
seeking at least three alternatives or by assigning several teams the same task
to obtain competitive versions or even solutions.
