# Focus on what you can do now

There were times when I kept doubting myself, and think that the reason there was no progress with the project is my incapability. I wasn't sure whether the problem is unsolvable with the current setup or I didn't work or try hard enough?

I asked that to one person I respected much. He said: list all the options I can do for this question, and do it one by one. When all items are done, check the status. Did it get solved? What are the takeaways? What can we do now?

Overall, try to accept that there will be something you ultimately can't do, but there is also so much you CAN DO and keep moving forward.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://lwang010.gitbook.io/longw/softskills/chap-1.-roadmap/do-what-you-can-do.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
