Pain is much more immediate. Toward people see the glass as half full while the away-froms see the glass as half empty. Achievers move toward opportunity and possibility. They often create the next step in human evolution, processes, or technology. They can, however, jump too easily into relationships, partnerships, or new ventures without clearly understanding the consequences of their actions.
Problem solvers move away from possible pain.
They tend to be better at analyzing and solving problems. They can also create new things by amplifying the consequences of not doing it . They can be motivated to avoid ending up in the same circumstances as their parents or friends. To achieve goals, problem solvers need to periodically refocus on their objectives, not just the consequences. There is an old story of putting a frog in a pan of tepid water.
