Unnecessary advice

Challenge yourself constantly and enjoy every challenge. Help yourself always be in a positive mindset and never settle for being content. If you've made a bad choice, change the choice. If you've made a good choice, find more good choices to make. And never believe for an instant that your fate is sealed or that things are the way they are.

The room of complex knots

I've been granted access to the room of complex knots. And I may even have permission to untie the most complicated of the knots. But it's not clear that it would be a good idea. Do I focus on the small knots to practice first? Do I build my way up through the larger knots in sequential order to show expertise?

At what point in time do I just attack the monster knot, and try to untangle the whole mess?

It's a balancing act... work on a few small knots to gain practice and respect, then spend time at the big knot until my contributions are limited, then go back to the small or medium knots. But never forget that when the large knot gets untied, many other people will be help with the other knots. The big knot is the key to success.
