If you pick a problem that you have faced or are facing, it will be easy to solve and relate to. Problems are everywhere but jus finding problem is not enough.

If you pick a problem that you have faced or are facing, it will be easy to solve and relate to. Problems are everywhere but jus finding problem is not enough. You need to be able to relate. I am not saying you can't pick a problem that you never seen first hand but that just adds up learning curve and eats away your time to jus learn basics of the domain. So better focus on what you have seen or are seeing.
