Question

When you face a problem that seems impossible to solve, you may need some wisdom or
clear thinking to help solve it. You might need an idea that cuts through the confusion. In other
words, you might need bold thinking to cut through that Gordian knot.
"Gordian knot" is a term that comes from ancient times. A wise man had once foretold that a
city's new king would be the next man to amive in a wagon. When the peasant Gordius and his wife
rode into that city in a cart pulled by oxen. Gordius was proclaimed king of the city, and the city was
named Gordium. The wise man's prediction had come truc. Gordius then tied the pole that connected
the oxen's yoke to his wagon using an intricate knot. According to legend, the man who could untie
the complicated loop would rule over Asia.
In 333 BCE, Alexander the Great was marching into an area that is now a part of Turkey. He
came to the city called Gordium. Alexander the Great studied the knot. Like many men before him,
he could find no way to untie it. So he took his sword and sliced through it. He solved the problem in
a bold and resourceful manner.
So what can you do if you are faced with a Gordian knot? Think about the problem, and then
figure out a bold way to solve it.
