When the course heads you south, you gotta turn north.

   When things go wrong, if you do not do something to correct them, you should realize they are only going to continue. We speak of taking action. If you do not do something to change the course, you should not expect your troubles to vanish. You must think through what is going on and consider what can be done to counter it. Change of course usually doesn't come by chance. You must make a conscious decision to change the course. The car doesn't get turned around without using the steering wheel.
