A leader on his way out of office meets his successor. The leader hands his successor two sealed letters and imparts the following advice:
"When a situation you are facing gets too hard to handle, open the first letter. If another situation arises that you can't control, open the second letter."

Soon enough the new leader has to deal with a very difficult crisis so he opens the first letter which reads:

"Blame everything on your predecessor."

The new leader does so.

Immediately all the blame and accountability is shifted to the previous administration and order is restored. The new leader receives record approval ratings and everything is fine for awhile.

Unfortunately, another crisis occurs and the new leader is again looked to to provide a solution.
The new leader is stumped and decides to open the second letter, which reads:

"Sit down and write two letters..."
