What we have to do is think about

not only our own futures, but
those of all the other people who

are affected by the solution you

have chosen. Think about who

will be affected and how will they

be affected – in a good way or a
bad way? What will change for you and for anyone else if you apply your solution? Be

very wise and make your solution a perfect butterfly.

OK, now that we have some ideas about how to solve our problem, we can move to the

final stage, Step 4, and start to do something about it.

Step 4: Do it!

Shark-thinking

Circle it, size it up, be very cautious, then go for it! If you watch sharks studying

something to see if it could make a decent dinner, you will notice how they don’t do the

crocodile thing – instead they will circle around, looking out of the corner of their eye, to
make sure it isn’t going to be something that will turn around and bite them back! This

could be a handy tip if your

problem is risky – sometimes it

might be wiser to swim away!

But, if you have followed the first

three steps and thought the

problem through, you should be ready to act. Put your solution into action.
