Can You Feel It?

We’re all under pressure right now.
And in the same way that points mean prizes, pressure means tension.
It’s always there, bubbling under.
Threatening to spill out and wreck relationships.
Even worse, it can force you off course and sabotage your projects.
There’ll always be differences of opinion.
But when the pressure’s on, you need to be more gracious, not less.
Remember this: “The one person who has time to rock the boat is the person not rowing.”
I’d love to take credit for that one.
But they’re the wise words of Jean-Paul Sartre.
He knew a thing or two about rowing.
Oars up!
(I said ‘oars’ George).
