Remember to use your brain

There is no substitute for using your own brain.

You can read the news

You can take inspiration from stories

You can copy historical tactics

You can review the approaches that have benefitted you in the past

You can ask for help

But every situation, every period, every problem, every second is new

Nothing that worked in the past or worked for others..
Will work for you as it is.

Before every action..
Don't forget to use your brain..
And validate the solution you are about enact..
Really fits the problem.

Keep tweaking till it doesn't.
