I feel like the boy who cried wolf, even though I know even less about politics.
For every dilemma, find at least three or four possible solutions. The creative process leads to better results.
I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.
