Andrew Yang Quotes

There are no big problems, there are just a lot of little problems.

If you are unable to understand the cause of a problem it is impossible to solve it.

Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.

I'm a perfectionist. And that's served me very well in my career. It allows me to handle these large, complex problems without letting things fall through the cracks... That is the mentality you have to have to attack these complex problems of chip design, for example, when you're overwhelmed with complexity.

No matter how complicated a problem is, it usually can be reduced to a simple, comprehensible form which is often the best solution.

When you're trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appear a little abstract, and it is easy to lose sight of the product.

Simple solutions seldom are. It takes a very unusual mind to undertake analysis of the obvious.

The solution of one problem always brings a few more problems to the surface to be solved, which were hidden underneath the theory of transmission.

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.

There are no simple solutions to today’s problems.

Doing the simple thing first doesn't mean your solution will work forever.

The world is complicated. But does every problem require a complicated solution?

Engineers are very logical and everything has to be tested so when we fail, we'll know why and how to improve things.

Tinkering is a way of understanding difficult problems, of wrapping our heads around them and quantifying the unknowns.

Whether the task is fixing health care, upgrading K-12 education, bolstering national security, or a host of other missions, the U.S. is better at patching problems than fixing them.

I'd be wary of simple solutions to complex problems.

Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today's problems are a result of yesterday's solutions.

Much can often be learned by the repetition under different conditions, even if the desired result is not obtained.

Sometimes big problems are best solved with lots of small and creative solutions.

I try to take large, general questions that are difficult to resolve and break them down into small, very specific questions that have clear answers.

There is no single right answer or path forward, but there is one right way to frame the problem.

Early on, in discussions of financial oversight, people would say, 'Well, this is a very complicated problem, therefore it requires a complicated solution.' And at that step, I would say, 'Well, wait a minute. Just because it's a complicated problem doesn't mean the best course of action immediately is one that's complicated.'

I'm very good at deconstructing. I'm a very good troubleshooter for why something is unlikely to work. And most everything is unlikely to work.

I also know that I am not a great technician.

The chief cause of problems is solutions.
