Rather than labeling the issues that come up during a typical work day as

problems, think of them as speed bumps (speed breakers). An actual speed

bump, as you know, is a low bump in a road designed to get your attention

and slow you down. Depending on how you approach and deal with the bump, it

can be a miserable, uncomfortable, even damaging experience, or it can

simply be a temporary slow down – no big deal.



If you step on the gas, speed up, and tighten the wheel, for example,

you’ll hit the bump with a loud thump! Your car may be damaged, you
’ll make

a great deal of noise, and you can even injure yourself. In addition,

you’ll add unnecessary wear and tear to your car, and you’l
l look foolish

and obnoxious to other people.



If, however, you approach the bump softly and wisely, you’ll be ove
r it in

no time. You’ll suffer no adverse effects, and your car will be com
pletely

unaffected. Let’s face it. Either way, you’re likely to get
 over the bump.



Problems can be looked at in a similar light. Depending on how you approach

and deal with the problem, it can be a miserable experience, or it can

simply be a temporary slowdown – no big deal.



Approach the problems like speed bumps - softly and wisely.
