Engage in Wishful Thinking

As I tell my students: If there is something in life you want, make it happen! (And be then willing to handle the consequences of your actions with care and grace!) If there is an equation you wish to solve but wish there were a "+4" on the left ... make it happen! Add a 4 to the left, with the consequence of adding a 4 to the right as well. A beautiful problem-solving technique is to simply change the problem to what you wish it could be!
