i need a problem..!

"think and connect" were the wise words of prof fauziah during a receng workshop named "framing your problem". most of the time we hear things like "what's your model?" "what're your variables?" and stuff like that. but she only concentrated on, well as the name of bengkel suggests, the problem! she opines that one need not worry about variables, once the problem is clea, the relevant construct shall come (naturally, i suppose). the longer i sat in the room the further away (again!) i am from where i thought i was and the problem (i thought) i had became a figment of imagination. so in a nutshell, i have nothing. so now, why am i here typing this???!!!
