Dear Max,

You may have heard the old adage, if you have a problem attack it head on. Well, that’s not entirely true. Many problems, if you attack them head on, turn out the same old way or they completely blow up. Success, in any situation, lies in the angles.

What do I mean by that? Well, every situation has multiple ways of approaching it. To find an angle you need to find a small piece of the larger issue and chip away at it. Keep working at this small piece and eventually it will open new doors.

Think about it this way: If the front porch of the house is burning, wouldn’t you have more luck using the side door?

Love,

Dad
