Grace under pressure

Summary

Grace under pressure refers to the ability to maintain composure and demonstrate calmness in difficult or stressful situations. It involves showing poise, resilience, and emotional stability when confronted with adversity or intense pressure. Instead of succumbing to panic or anxiety, individuals who exhibit grace under pressure are able to think clearly, make rational decisions, and effectively manage the challenges they face. This quality is seen as a mark of strength, maturity, and self-control, allowing people to navigate challenging circumstances with dignity and confidence. It highlights the importance of emotional intelligence and the ability to rise above challenging situations while maintaining one's composure.

He wanted to make her laugh. He wanted to sit and listen to her talk about books until his ears fell off. But all these were things he could not want, because they were things he could not have, and wanting what you could not have led to misery and madness.

Imagine that the keeper of a huge, strong beast notices what

Imagine that the keeper of a huge, strong beast notices what makes it angry, what it desires, how it has to be approached and handled, the circumstances and the conditions under which it becomes particularly fierce or calm, what provokes its typical cries, and what tones of voice make it gentle or wild. Once he's spent enough time in the creature's company to acquire all this information, he calls it knowledge, forms it into a systematic branch of expertise, and starts to teach it, despite total ignorance, in fact, about which of the creature's attitudes and desires is commendable or deplorable, good or bad, moral or immoral. His usage of all these terms simply conforms to the great beast's attitudes, and he describes things as good or bad according to its likes and dislikes, and can't justify his usage of the terms any further, but describes as right and good the things which are merely indispensable, since he hasn't realised and can't explain to anyone else how vast a gulf there is between necessity and goodness.

In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delive

In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delivered and it must conform to the law of supply and demand. If, therefore, the fixed salary is a violation of this law - as, for instance, when I see two engineers leaving college together and both equally well trained and efficient, and one getting forty thousand while the other only earns two thousand , or when lawyers and hussars, possessing no special qualifications, are appointed directors of banks with huge salaries - I can only conclude that their salaries are not fixed according to the law of supply and demand but simply by personal influence. And this is an abuse important in itself and having a deleterious effect on government service.
