I was just watching a commerical for the Women’s NCAA Tournament on ESPN. One of the coaches in the commercial said, “All Good Things Come From Pressure.” I completely agree. I firmly believe that pressure brings out the very best and the very worst in people. With pressure, people will choose to either rise to the occasion or wilt and fail. Personally, I’d like to think I rise to the occasion and meet the pressure head on. My favorite part of a project is the last few days. Everyone is running around freaking out, questioning how we’ll launch “X” on time, and pushing themselves to go beyond the what they thought was there best.
In the face of pressure and adversity you’ll find out who your leaders are. To me it’s a comforting fact.
