A Pressure Preformance

It is dark. It is quiet. Everyone is standing together bouncing off the walls with excitement. The music starts the curtain opens,
"Fabric, get your fabric," and the play has begun.
Call it stupid, but that's what happens behind the scenes. For some reason we're always nervous before a show, but then the curtain opens and it all goes away in a second. Some people hate pressure, some people love it.

When people fold under pressure I almost feel sorry for them. Anthony Tate cannot choose a flavor of ice cream without spending at least 2 minutes going,
"Uh ummm....I don't know."
It is the saddest thing I've ever seen. I get were he's coming from. I personally hate pressure. Yet I still love it. I love the feeling of pressure once it's started. Once I know I've got it down, when I know I did it, I love that feeling. The feeling of success that removes that pit from your stomach and makes you smile from ear to ear. It's one of the best feelings in the world.

So as I leave once again a saying for the road- Thrive on pressure, because once you get past it you will feel like your on top of the world.
Just Think About It,
Tufte
