Navigating, not fearing
You will meet biased results, odd forwards and long lists of suggestions. A forward is a message sent on to others. You do not need to fear them. You need a habit.
Step 1 of 4
- Two questions: does a mistake cost a lot? Can you check it?
- Costs a lot: check it now, or ask a grown-up you trust.
- Costs little: take a quick look, or notice it and look around.
- An exam forward costs a lot and you can check it. Check it now.
The rule
Ask: does a mistake cost a lot? Can you check it?
The two answers put the situation in one of four corners. Each corner names a habit.
| Cost of a mistake | Can you check it? | Habit |
|---|---|---|
| A lot | Yes | Check it now. |
| A lot | No | Ask a grown-up you trust. |
| Little | Yes | Take a quick look. |
| Little | No | Notice it. Then look around on purpose. |
A forward says the exam moved to tomorrow. A wrong forward makes you miss it. You can check the notice board. Check it now.
A message says a friend needs money now. You cannot reach the friend. A mistake costs a lot, and you cannot check it alone. Ask a grown-up you trust.
A post says your class won the rangoli prize. A mistake costs little, and you can check it. Take a quick look.
Set the two switches for each situation.
