We're often judged by how we do in times of crisis and it’s something that over the years I have become better and better at. It’s a skill, and it’s something that can be learned.
Times of crisis, of disruption or constructive change, are not only predictable, but desirable. They mean growth. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around. That’s all you need to know. Marcus Aurelius
A time of crisis is not just a time of anxiety and worry. It gives a chance, an opportunity, to choose well or to choose badly. Desmond Tutu
In a time of crisis we all have the potential to morph up to a new level and do things we never thought possible. Stuart Wilde
You never have real changes unless you have a time of crisis. Milton Friedman
Out of adversity comes opportunity. Benjamin Franklin
Rudyard Kipling in his poem IF wrote “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you” then “Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it”
