"A problem is just a problem because we think of it that way. Stuff happens. If we don’t like the stuff, we label it a problem and try to jam the world back into the way it was going before. If we do like the stuff, we label it an opportunity and try to take advantage of it. The difference between a problem and an opportunity is what we do with it, not what it is to begin with." ~ Stever Robinson, The Get-It-Done Guy

Yep.
Did you know that a standard engineering report has the following sections:
Problem/Opportunity
Options
Conclusion/Recommendation
For me, problems and opportunities are interchangeable.
I will now call them problemtunities.
I suppose the trouble is the label.
Did you know that the Chinese (mandarin?) word for crisis is same as the word for opportunity?
