I love your Lion's metaphor --- I agree! Waking up everyday thinking of what problem can I find/tackle/solve today is a great mindset to operate from. And it could lead you to uncover great opportuntities and perhaps achieve greater success in life. Like some one once said "no pain --- no gain". The BEST is yet to come! Epi Torres Kevin,

These opportunities can also help hone the communication skills as I had found one day that somehow on my test box I had an Oracle Home (downgraded to 10.2.0.3) and I had to show (and communicate with the people in systems) without accusing people in harsh tones. So these problem solving opportunities are great for honing the tech and people skills!
