Lost something? Don’t look. Listen.

Rick Lipsey

When you lose something, how do you feel? Frustrated? Angry? That’s the way I used to feel. Especially if it was someone in my family who had lost something. A sweatshirt left on the playground or an elbow pad left in the hockey locker room. I’d react and search around frantically, usually without finding anything.

But recently, I’ve learned a more helpful approach: Don’t look. Listen.

Huh? How can you find something without looking for it?
