In the "high-speed life" of today and in the changing economy of the world, people usually keep the eyes on the small pieces of the picture not seeing the bigger parts ... Issues of the least importance, usually get the most attention and yet there are no ones to deal with the main concerns...

Maybe that is the result of living in "task-oriented" societies instead of developing the "problem-solving" potentials in ourselves to make ourselves more "strategy oriented" ...
That is the fact of life ... we as parts of this system tend more to see the tiny issues more frequently losing track on the bigger pieces more often ...

In the highly competitive environments of politics and business of today, we for sure will lose tremendously if we only think that by focusing on "tasks", we would be able to survive without having "The Big Picture" in mind and moving on without strategic thinking and not having long term steady plans for future relationships ...
