Working Under Pressure

My best work
has been done under pressure.
Maybe because under it
one can only move forward
to win the task.
To slow down , or to give up,
means only defeat.
So, by moving forward instinctively
with a guiding
gut feeling,
one can only do the best work, because
it comes from inside.


The Tough Guy

When things get tough,
they say,
the tough get going.
Where to
is anybody's guess.
Because toughness,
in many cases,
is on image
and not a noble ability.


Good Or Bad

Never try to find the bad in people,
only the good.
They will show you the bad themselves.
