Problem: Article: A big part of being a competent strategist is knowing when to switch tactics. Developing goals is wonderful, but you also must be willing to terminate a plan or incorporate new strategies if you are not getting the anticipated results. If, upon reassessment, you find that you do not see the progress you would like, go back to step one. Consider what and why your methods are not working. Examine what resources you currently have at your disposal. Then, come up with some new ways of meeting your objectives. Know that it takes time to meet many goals. Don't switch strategies until you can confirm that the tactic is, in fact, not working. In some cases, you may not have given your methods enough time to show results. Consider this scenario: you are aiming to build up a long-term savings account. You were able to consistently deposit a set amount into the account every week. After successfully moving towards this goal for a period of time, you might decide to increase the amount you are depositing each week to meet your long-term goal faster. If you are closed to new ideas and techniques, you limit yourself. An essential part of your arsenal as a strategist must be a willingness to be wrong, to be surprised, and to find inspiration in the most unlikely of places. If keeping an open mind poses a challenge for you, try the following tips: Listen more, even to those with lesser titles than you. Reinforce those who have the courage to try new things or make changes. Gather all the facts before making a decision. A good strategist is like a sponge, constantly soaking up knowledge and experiences. Because science and technology are always evolving, you must understand that you, too, must educate yourself to stay abreast. Learn by reading books, watching films and documentaries, and completing online and in-person training in your given area. Regularly acquire new skills. Observe others to see how they are doing things. Ask questions; never assume you know everything. A capable strategist has mastered the notion of foresight, or he has someone on his team who has this skill. Many great leaders and businesses are toppled because a new trend or technique rendered their old methods useless. In order to prevent this, one must anticipate and plan for challenges. Do this by: Staying connected. Keep your finger on the pulse of the people. Know what their challenges are. Researching your area of expertise. Stay abreast of new trends, products, and the users' response to them. Consult with the customer or end-user. Consider their opinion on new initiatives. Develop special teams to anticipate and respond to challenges.
Summary: Reassess your progress. Be open-minded. Build an always-learning attitude. Anticipate challenges and plan accordingly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Diarrhea in infants is often caused by an allergy to ingredients in their formula or baby food. To avoid this, consult your doctor and have your infant tested for allergies. If allergy tests confirm your child is allergic to something, don't allow them to consume it in the future. Many infants are allergic to milk protein, which can cause diarrhea. Some babies can outgrow food allergies, so talk to your doctor as your baby grows. An allergist may also be able to help you decide. Whether it is before or after you've tested your infant for allergies, you should consider switching their formula if your baby gets diarrhea often. Talk to your pediatrician before changing formulas. After switching, you may find that your infant no longer has diarrhea. If you use a traditional dairy formula, try using a soy-based formula. While rare in children, lactose intolerance can cause cramps, gas, or diarrhea. Your pediatrician can test for it by giving your baby a simple breath test. If the test confirms lactose intolerance, you'll need to put them on a lactose free diet.

SUMMARY: Have your child tested for allergies. Switch formulas, if you use formula. Test your infant for lactose intolerance.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Federal disability laws prohibit employers from asking about your diagnosis, though laws may vary slightly in different countries. There are pros and cons associated with disclosing your condition. The upside is that both parties are aware of the situation and can make reasonable accommodations. The con is that although discrimination is illegal, applicants worry whether it will hurt their chances. There is some debate about whether job seekers with chronic health conditions should disclose their illness. This is a personal choice, and should be made after consulting with your doctor to understand the scope of your diagnosis, as well as after considering how potential careers may influence your health. The employment laws of the country you live in will play a significant role in what you have to disclose about your illness, and also regarding your rights against potential discrimination. You are able to disclose as much or as little information as you choose, and the employer is only permitted to ask general questions about any disabilities, like whether you have a condition that would prevent you from fulfilling the job requirements. In the US, a potential employer is not permitted to ask questions like the following before extending a job offer: Do you have a heart condition? Do you have asthma or any other difficulties breathing? Do you have a disability that would interfere with your ability to perform the job? How many days were you sick last year? Have you ever filed for workers' compensation? Have you ever been injured on the job? Have you ever been treated for mental health problems? What prescription drugs are you currently taking? There are instances where an employer will require you to undergo a pre-employment medical assessment. These are intended to ensure that you are medically capable of fulfilling the job requirements of the position. They are not required for applicants; they are used after an employer has offered a conditional job offer. These examinations seem to be falling out of favor with employers, but there is still a possibility that you will be asked to undergo an examination. These are typically used in occupations where physical duties are essential, like manufacturing or drivers. They are legal only if the employer requires that every employee, regardless of whether they have a disability or not, is required to undergo the same process prior to beginning the job. The employer may also ask medical questions rather than requiring a full exam. An employer is able to rescind their offer of employment if they can show that you are medically unable to fulfill the basic job requirements.
Summary: Make the decision to disclose your condition. Understand what is legal for an employer to ask. Prepare for a pre-employment medical assessment, if required.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you want to make a larger or smaller cube, just use larger or smaller square sheets of paper. You can find origami paper at most craft stores or online. If you don't have origami paper, you can use regular copy paper that's been cut into squares instead. Start by folding each sheet of paper in half. Then, continue making the folds until you end up with a small folded square. You should have 6 small squares when you're finished. Each of your squares will have 2 end flaps and a center fold. Slide the end flap of 1 piece of folded paper into the center fold of another piece. Then, slide the end flap of a third piece of paper into the other side of the center fold. As you continue adding the other pieces, you'll see the shape of a cube starting to emerge. Continue until you've connected all of the end flaps from each piece of paper, and you'll have a cube! You may need to bend the flaps to fit them into the center fold.
Summary:
Start with 6 sheets of 6in 6in (15cm 15cm) origami paper. Repeat all the above steps with the 5 other sheets of paper. Fit the pieces of folded paper together.
