Personally, if this is something that kills me I won't care. If it is something that gets me a distinct advantage on my stock account, I care. If I'm alive I'll have more money in my pocket. If I'm dead, I don't care. Huh - Said that already didn't I. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I bought some stock today before it closed, Monday I'll have to go to the broker and buy some more. One of my stocks is down $100 per share. This is one of those rare life events when you can make money through patience and no work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) It saddens me, but doesn't surprise me, how easily folk are to stampede. One steer sees a rattlesnek fifty feet away and starts to run. All of the other steers start to run. They keep running. None of the steers think to ask what they are running from, but they all know, they need to run. Even when they learn that the danger is far away and no longer a threat, they keep running. Because all of the other steers are running. I thought that people were supposed to be smarter than cowsies.

You are old enough, and have seen enough, that you must know people are not as smart as those steers! I told my kids that there is not reason to panic over anything. If it's bad enough to cause panic, then just get your ass in gear and fix it. If you have time to panic, then you have time to do something about it! While you are fixing the problem you don't have the time to panic. If the problem is over and done with, panic is a useless activity. If you can't do anything about the problem, then panic is a useless waste of energy and again, serves no earthly purpose. Remember the words of the ultimate reference: "...The novel explains that this was partly because the device "looked insanely complicated" to operate, and partly to keep intergalactic travellers from panicking.[49] "It is said that despite its many glaring (and occasionally fatal) inaccuracies, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words 'DON'T PANIC' in large, friendly letters on the cover."[4] Arthur C. Clarke said Douglas Adams' use of "don't panic" was perhaps the best advice that could be given to humanity.[50]...", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Don't_Panic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of my biggest weaknesses as a Naval officer: what if the crap hits the fan and I mess up and my guys get hurt or killed? Consider that on a ship, a warship, everything on that vessel and the other guy are dangerous and if that danger appears, every eye is going to look right up the chain of command for answers. It gnawed at me that I might not measure up when those eyes stopped at me, that if I panicked, if I made a mistake, my shipmates would suffer. We did a lot of drills. Everyone had already experienced most of what could happen, every man knew his job; I knew mine. It helped, but never completely got rid of the doubt. More senior officers told me, Rely on your training, your chiefs, your men and yourself. You can't do this job if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Sage advice from an old salty nurse to me as a rookie, Which I have passed on as my saltiness grew- "Assess first, THEN you know what to panic about." It applies to everything, not just emergency medicine. Figure out what the heck is going on, make a priority list, and then tackle the highest priority first. I'm still not really sure what all these people are panicking about. Obesity, heart disease, cancer, and stroke each individually kill more people yearly, than Wuhan flu ever will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
