In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The base word in strategic thinking (or working) is “strategy.” This means that when you are creating your plan, you need to carefully consider all variables that could possibly affect your work.  Think about things like outside disturbances, financial setbacks, unexpected costs, etc. For the delivery truck example, you would need to consider the price of gasoline for the additional vehicles, the cost of insurance for the new drivers, what might happen if there is an accident in one of the delivery vehicles, the cost of additional advertising in the new market, etc. Once you identify, organize, and prioritize your goals, outline the strategic work steps you will take towards those goals in chronological format. Following a carefully constructed order of operations is necessary to working strategically. For each of your goals, you need to define a series of actionable steps that will lead to achieving that goal, taking all of the information you gathered into account. Create a plan in the following way: For example, if you want to expand your delivery service by purchasing new vehicles, you will need to craft a strategy to come up with the extra capital needed to purchase them and increase your number of employees. Write your plan down so that there is a physical record and you can easily keep track of where you’re at in your plan at all moments. You may do this by hand, or you may implement any of a number of computer-based planning/time-management applications.
Summary: Consider all variables. Create a plan. Put your plan on paper.

Once you've been dating for a while, it's time to start getting to really know this person. That means understanding what makes them tick, what their hopes and dreams are, and what they believe and value. These types of questions, especially if they involve the future, may also help the other person imagine you in their future life. Social psychologist Arthur Aron has developed a list of 36 open-ended questions that can help you start interesting, meaningful conversations with your partner. For example, "What would constitute a perfect day for you?" and "For what in your life do you feel most grateful?" A nice person should be open to having a conversation like this one. Active listening is a process that builds mutual understanding and trust -- key components of falling in love. By developing your listening skills, you'll show your partner that you're really interested in what they're saying. This is important if you want to keep a nice person interested in you.  Try labeling emotions. For example, if your partner tells you she had a bad day and needs to vent, reflect what you believe she's feeling, such as "I'm sensing that you're feeling really upset." Ask probing follow-ups. Try asking questions such as "What do you think would happen if you did.....?" or "What if you tried....?" Validate the other person. Even if you don't necessarily agree with what your partner is feeling, acknowledge her feelings. Feelings can't be wrong or right -- they just are. For example, "I can see where what I said would hurt your feelings. I appreciate your willingness to talk to me about it." Don't shrug things off. Although it could seem natural to you to jump to reassuring your partner with something like "Don't even worry about that," this type of hasty reassurance can actually suggest that you haven't been listening. Take your time and offer meaningful comments. Communicating clearly and effectively will build the trust and interaction between the two of you, which will strengthen your emotional bonds and help you and your nice person to fall in love. Try some of these techniques:  Ask questions. Don't assume that you know what's going on. Ask questions to clarify what the other person needs, especially if you don't feel certain. For example, if your partner seems upset, ask: "It seems like you're really upset about this. Do you need to just vent, or do you want me to help you find a solution? I'm here for you either way." Use "I"-statements. These help you avoid sounding blaming or judgmental, which can put the other person on the defensive. There will be times when you or your partner have to communicate something that has upset you or hurt your feelings, but using "I"-statements will be effective and respectful. For example, if your partner is so nice that he'll never try to fix things that go wrong, try communicating how that makes you feel: "When we go out to dinner and you do not ask our server to fix things that are wrong, I feel like you aren't standing up for my needs. Can we talk about how to address this?" Avoid passive-aggression. You might feel like the "nice" thing to do is to hint at when you're angry, rather than come straight out with it. However, it is far better to be clear, direct, and honest about how you are feeling. Passive aggressiveness can break down trust and make the other person feel hurt or angry. Say what you mean and mean what you say. It's possible to be direct and kind at the same time. Your partner's family and friends probably have a great deal of influence over his or her life. Winning them over may just help the two of you fall deeper in love. Be polite and kind. But be yourself! You don't want to appear to be one way around your partner's family and friends and another way around the person you love. Be genuine with everyone.

Problem: Article: Foreign bodies can get lodged in the nose, throat, trachea, or bronchi of a cat, and the symptoms vary depending on the exact location of the foreign object. Look for any of the following symptoms:  Nasal discharge Sneezing Nose-pawing or nose-bleeds Head shaking Gagging Salivation Difficulty swallowing or breathing Bad breath Pawing at the face and mouth Coughing Retching Blue coloured gums Fainting Anorexia In most instances a foreign body, such as a blade of grass or a piece of a stick, will enter your cat while they are smelling or chewing these objects. Keep a close eye on your cat while it is playing outside. This way you will have a better indication of what might be the problem if your cat starts to develop symptoms. If you notice any common symptoms associated with a respiratory foreign body, or you believe your cat may have inhaled a foreign object, you should take your cat to the vet immediately. If left untreated, a foreign body in the respiratory system could cause an infection or lead to chronic lung disease. In some cases the foreign object may travel through the body, causing severe complications and even death. Your vet will need to run a number of tests in order to rule out other possible illnesses and to find the exact location of the foreign object. Your vet will likely need to administer a number of examinations in order to determine the exact location of the foreign object. An examination can also provide your vet with more detailed information concerning the type of object that has been lodged in the respiratory system. Your vet may administer any of the following tests:  A complete blood count (CBC), biochemical profile, and urinalysis. An x-ray of the throat and chest. Skull/nasal radiographs. A scope may be used to evaluate the nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi. A CT Scan or MRI may be useful in some cases.
Summary:
Notice common symptoms. Monitor your cat while outside. Take your cat to the vet. Have your cat examined.
