ADJUST YOUR RESPONE

It is important that we learn from our experience. This learning is often from two different perspectives. Just as its important to know 'what to do' its also important to know 'what not to do.' Likewise, in some situations it is best to slow down and proceed carefully. 

Imagine an explorer running through a jungle. He's on his way to the ruins of an ancient city where priceless treasures await and ... Stop! He's just accidently leap into a pit of quicksand. He is slowly sinking. What should he do? Most people would panic and wildly flail their arms causing themselves to sink even faster. But not him. He knows quicksand isn't as dangerous as people think, so long as you know how to escape. He slowly wiggles his legs, carefully spreads his arms, and leans back allowing himself to float to the top. A few minutes later, he's free and back on his way. He benefited more from what he didn't do! Sometimes the response to a situation should be "don't just do something, stand there!"
