The Easy Solution to Every Problem

I had a little problem yesterday that involved a vacuum cleaner. While trying to fix the trouble, I realized that I was doing what most of us do when we have problem--and when I finally figured out the solution, I had a good laugh. Not every trouble has the same solution, obviously, but the first solution to every difficulty we encounter is exactly the same. Nearly twenty years ago I learned this lesson for the first time and have practiced it ever since. Want to know what it is?
