Sweating
Don't let them see you sweat.
Whether you agree with his politics or not, President Obama is putting a face on that statement. He looks like he is in control, has a plan and is making it work.
Again, you may not like his politics but you should admire the way he is handling himself in this crisis.

Before you quit - exercise the Power of One.
Whatever you are doing, do one more of it. One more push up, make one additional sales call, read one nore chapter in your book or do one more homework assignment. It will pay BIG dividends.

Victim Mentality
.... no matter what happens in our life that we cannot control, we can always control our response to what happens.
Victor Frankl, who was a survivor of a Nazi war camp, said that choice is the greatest human freedom. When you work with difficult people, or when the stock market crashes, or when you suffer from inevitable disappointments, realize you have the power as to how to act and that the "victim mentality" rarely leads to success.
