When delay strikes, …

I have been traveling quite a bit for work lately and transportation delays have become part of my life. Here is my advice on how to deal with it.
1) Keep calm and carry on
2) Acknowledge it is beyond your control
3) No need to find someone to blame
4) Seek alternatives if possible
5) Inform the people that may be affected by your late arrival/departure
6) Pursue compensation if applicable
7) Make the best out of the “extra” time in hand; for example, retail therapy, a snack, a drink, read a book or even write a blog (exactly what I am doing now).

To sum up, often time we can’t control what happens to us, but we can always choose how to react to it. So make a positive spin.
