Get Help!
When the sh*t is about to hit the fan, and preferably well before, get some help. Help will come in a myriad of ways, when you start seeking it. Seek and you shall find.
Even if you’re uncomfortable, go find it. You will then shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable.

A Vision And A Dedicated Team
“A sky scraper went into space, returned to earth, and parallel parked” – Sylvia Smith
A seven story tall, 10 meter wide, 250 ton object was guided safely onto landing arms after rapidly returning from space. Incredible!
If this doesn’t inspire you to achieve anything you can dream of, I don’t know what will.

It Takes A Team
Surgery. Not something you want to have to go through. Ever.
Yet, how brilliant is it that somebody figured out how to fix internal organs and other bits. So now rather than live with a life altering condition, you can be all sorted in a few hours as a day case.
We live incredible times.

Some People Are Tricky
There is a lot of complexity in some people. Often this comes from turbulent experiences, though sometimes it’s their desire for a fight, drama or control.
Spot these people early and stay clear as much as you can.

The Problem With Perfect
Perfect is a nice dream but an unwittingly deceptive goal. Dreaming of how things could be created or adjusted helps to inspire improvements and move society forward.
However, pressing for 100% perfection can be a fools errand and create more harm than good.
Trying to reduce the number of criminals in prison down to zero is a nice idea, but not very realistic. Solving the root cause of criminal behaviour will be better than trying to rehabilitate offenders. But even if that were successful, you’ll still likely have a few people that end up on the wrong side of societal norms and laws.
Trying to get to zero criminals ever again, Zero racists, zero traffic accidents, zero exam failures, zero bullying, etc is a wonderful idea. Perfection!
But let’s be pragmatic. We can do a lot of great things with 97% good. And we should celebrate this incredible percentage and learn to deal with the 1%-3% in other ways, as positively as possible.

Winning Arguments
If you use words to fight daily battles or demonstrate your worth (lawyers, professors, journalists, etc), you may sometimes, but not always, be over confident in your ability to solve problems and find sustainable solutions.
Because you can battle and defend your position, or even change your opinion and take the opposite stance, by using words, you may not realise real things can’t so easily be fixed.
You want to engage with people, or hire or elect people, that have a practical streak and aren’t just theoretical focused.
