Imagine that you are going to an important interview and you find out that you have a large coffee stain on your shirt. How do you react?

  • I will turn the stain towards me and pretend it was never there.
  • I'll tell a joke about how coffee decided to become a part of me.
  • I will take it as a sign that maybe it won't work out today, and I will relax.
  • I frown, think that I am incapable, and spend time trying to hide it.
  • I will turn this into a story for social media with the hashtag #professionalfailures.
