Rather than looking for what is wrong with things, this
quote encourages for the reader to find solutions to problems. The quote
suggests that finding faults only causes more faults. If citizens were to focus
more on finding remedies to world issues, personal issues, and societal issues,
it would be easier to live far better as a whole. Moreover, in the case of
Henry Ford, who said the quote, finding the faults in one’s own work will not
better it, simply make it worse. Finding a remedy betters one as a person, an
inventor, or whatever one would like to become. It is far better to be part of
the solution a person would like to create than be a part of the problem one
tries their hardest to avoid. More so, complaining about the problem does not
fix it, but simply makes it worse. Complaining about the problem makes one part
of the issue. This being said, being part of the solution can be recognizing
that oneself is part of the problem. If one is able to recognize that they are
simply making things worse, they have suddenly switched themselves from being
the problem into being the solution. This is what the quote, “Don’t find fault,
find a remedy” by Henry Ford means.
