Whether you're faced with a decision to make or a conflict to resolve, a logical approach will help.
Problems are an inevitable part of living. Whether well educated or having little education, whether financially wealthy or having little money, everyone experiences feelings of uncertainty and confusion from time to time. Follow these basic steps and you'll be able to handle times like these.
Define the problem
What is it that you would like to see happen? Aim to be as clear as possible. 'I want to achieve 80 marks for English' is more helpful than 'Do better at English'. Put it down in writing and in a place where you'll see it often.
Consider the options
List as many ideas to overcome the issue as possible. They can be as wild and imaginative as your brain allows. Don't stop to evaluate or criticise the ideas. The purpose at this point is to generate a free flowing exchange of possibilities. Ideas for the above goal may include: Get a study partner, ask my teacher for extra help, get tutorials from the internet and find study guides. Write down all the options that come to mind.
