we're only human

"when faced with a crisis situation, make a list of available alternatives and divide them into categories of desirable and undesirable. consider the matter as if it were already decided and evaluate your decision. repeat this process with all possible outcomes that you can imagine. mentally eliminate any hurdles. invent analogies. break the mold of logical thought when analyzing the crisis situation. and most importantly, always have at hand a Plan B to be used in case of emergencies. your Plan B will give you a sense of security that will allow you to take risks and do what is needed to triumph."
