One of my first jobs out of college I was stuck on a bug for several days and I was very obviously in panic mode with a deadline looming. An older engineer agreed to help me if I met him at his office at 7am. Up bright and early he greeted me at  his office door and immidiately asked me to demo the bug. After seeing that I had a grasp of the issue he didn&#x27;t try to troubleshoot. He just smiled and said, &quot;You&#x27;ll figure it out. Just ask yourself what is one thing you could do right now to get closer to solving the problem. That&#x27;s what I always do and something always comes to me.&quot; With that he stood up to indicate the conversation was over and escorted me out of his office. I&#x27;m 35 now and it hasn&#x27;t failed me yet.
