Trust your intuition. We've all become capably adept at negotiating a world of signals. Whether it's instinctively knowing you need to keep an eye on the white Civic just ahead of you on the expressway or that your opponent has just opened with pocket aces. And yet we often ignore intuition when it comes to fear. We push it aside and dismiss it as “probably nothing”. We go out of our way to tamp down these signals so we don't appear rude when it applies to others or just paranoid. Honor your intuition.

This is something I will have my daughter read and I guess that's recommendation enough.
