When things go wrong
When things go wrong, stop and ask yourself a question. Do
you want to make circumstances worse, or do you wish to make
things better?<P>
Getting angry and resentful will take a bad situation and
make it even more difficult. Focusing solely on who is to
blame and seeking some form of retribution will not solve
the problem.<P>
Instead, step back from what's going on, and make every
effort to look objectively, with an open mind, at all the
factors involved. Take a few moments to calmly put
everything into perspective.<P>
When things go wrong, you will always find an abundance of
opportunities for making a positive difference. Difficult
situations, as undesirable as they may be, often carry with
them valuable possibilities that cannot be found anywhere
else.<P>
Look for a way to respond that will end up putting you in a
stronger position than you were before the setback occurred.
See the situation as an opportunity, and that's what it will
become.<P>
When things go wrong, you have the chance to step forward
and create real, meaningful, and much-needed value. The
momentum you build in doing so will continue to carry you
quickly ahead.<P>
