Nicholas Bate:

  1. You get it wrong. Take notes and learn.

  2. You are lost. Try a different map.

  3. You are too fatigued. Rest deep and long.

  4. You can’t be heard. Be bolder.

  5. You lack focus. Find stillness and meditate until clarity returns.

  6. You need greater resource. Ask nicely and persistently.

  7. You need to go home. Go home.
