What is the antidote for the impulsive attitude, 'Do it quickly'?

'Not so fast. Think first.'

  1. 'Follow the rules. They are usually right.'
  2. 'It could happen to me.'
  3. 'Not so fast. Think first.' ✔

Why: Impulsive pilots do the first thing that pops into their heads. The fix is to pause and pick the best option. Each hazardous attitude has its own memorized antidote.

Huh, didn't know that: 'Follow the rules' is the antidote for anti-authority, and 'It could happen to me' answers invulnerability.

The dad joke
My drone wanted to launch right away. I told it to hold its propellers and think first.
