long - short term

At every step of the way we always seem to think only of what lies immediately in front of us rather than searching for a long term and maybe temporary solution. I do agree that we need to solve the obstacle that is at hand but also consciously look at making sure that this obstacle doesn’t arise in the future. As an individual I can think of the immediate in things that are not in my power to solve but where I can solve, there I need to be looking at both criteria. I do believe that there are right ways to go about doing this in the short term as well as the long term.
