Is There Another Way of Doing This

“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.”
from “Winnie-The-Pooh” by A. A. Milne

    I also love Pooh! I sometimes feel like that at work, that there must be another way.

    Girasoli, I remember days when I'd be teaching and things would get so difficult, not so much because the students were misbehaving but because the lesson just wasn't being understood. I sometimes felt like I was banging my head against a wall. It forced me to tell myself, "Try another way." That was the hard part but it does force once to change the way they do something and rewarding when you see a new path.
