Empathy is a good tool when you need to end problems that affect humans. Imagine how you would be affected by the problem if faced with the same situation. At the same time, push your brain to think of the best ideas it can. Summon your best problem-solving mode and you will come up with numerous ideas and solutions to problems you may have.
