How do you deal with ambiguity?

Answer 1

Well, ambiguous situations don't always need to be analyzed or named. It can just be the nature of the deal. Some say that actions speak louder than words. For instance, I was watching Ugly Betty the other day and we saw an action that could be taken two ways. Betty said goodbye to Henry and kissed him. From across the plaza, her current boyfriend Matt saw this and took it as her cheating on him. There are always two sides, and, when there is ambiguity the best thing is to figure it out from two directions. If you can see two possible solutions to a problem and work toward both, you are better off than putting effort only into one. An old saying is "don't put all your eggs in one basket." For instance, you decide to train for a job you are certain you want. So you get the training and are all set. Right? No, if you haven't networked or researched to find if jobs are available, then you might end up highly trained in something that will not work out--at least in the short term.
