I want to oppose some standard wisdom, oft repeated: “Don’t go looking for trouble.”
I object! You should absolutely go looking for trouble. How else will you solve it? How else will you improve the world?
Trouble thrives when it can strike first. It seeks the vulnerable, those not prepared for it. Keep the element of surprise. Sneak up on trouble.
No one saves the day from their couch. Get up and go looking for trouble.
