The document describes ideas generated by a student, Denis Duarte Cabral, to address a problem presented as part of a Design Thinking course activity. The problem involves a respondent who worries too much about others' growth instead of his own and works in telemarketing sales though he does not like the function. Some of the ideas generated to address this include: drawing a picture of himself as an adult to visualize his goals; opening a new type of business with unlimited money; and studying using borrowed books which is considered the most practical solution. The student believes this last idea could help the respondent qualify for better opportunities and achieve long-term stability through education.
