“Urgent deadline!!!!!!!!!”
“Serious meeting!!!!!”
“We need to talk.”
The world is a demanding place when you take yourself seriously. When you hold yourself to high standards, you imagine everyone else is there with you.
But they’re not. The world is a lot more forgiving than we think — because it has to be. Because we’re all a little bit messy.
It’s rare that urgent deadline is totally inflexible. It’s rare that need to talk is as disastrous as you think.
And the world? It’s never as serious as it seems.
