Things I notice being “intelligent” (when young people assume that means knowing everything and doing things perfectly the first time)
- the first solution is nearly always wrong (incomplete, reveals problem was not well understood)
- the second solution better addresses the problem, yet isn’t quite right (rough edges)
- the third solution is most often complete in form and function
Also when confronted with a spontaneous problem, unless reflexes will save one’s life, taking three deep breaths before responding most often produces the most level headed recourse.
