1. Think outside the box
When a new and
unexpected problem arises, don’t wait for some expert to fix it for you – get
creative and fix it yourself. Don’t know how? Improvise! Are you already aware
of a standard solution? Come up with ten alternatives! Even if you lack the
right tools and expertise, devising your own wonky and eccentric DIY solutions
is much more satisfying than going by the book. Perform such experiments with a
confident, winning smile and no one will even realize that you’re making it up
as you go along.
