Under Pressure


"My God! Harold!
"I'm OK, it's alright. I'm fine."
"Harold you're not fine! Look at you, you're severely injured!"


I like to say I'm good under pressure, and in a way it's true. I can think well under pressure: my logic becomes like a beacon. My emotions do not do well under pressure. Leadership and decision making become clear as day, and as I step through logical decisions I can feel a crippling strain in my chest that threatens to shake through my skin. I can't decide if I'm really good under pressure anymore: I'm not sure which side wins out in the end.

  1. The last scene of that movie always brings me back to the Princess Bride.

    "Gently!"
    "Oh Wesley, how can you something like that at a time like this?"
    "GENTLY!!!"
