during some vehicle recovery training, one thing that was mentioned was before you break out all the equipment and start pulling on stuff, you should sit down and have a nice cup of tea.

The thought is, when the vehicle gets stuck, or when you first get there to help, you're usually jacked up on adrenaline.

Stopping everything to have a cup of tea gives you time to relax, de-stress, and carefully consider all aspects of the situation, not just what the first thing that comes to mind might be, as making stupid mistakes is much easier if you're in a hurry and on an adrenaline high.

can be applied to pretty much any stressful situation.

I think it is truly astonishing that we are sending the unoccupied and autonomous Artemus I space capsule to the moon as a precursor to setting up a space station there.

Skip forward a few generations then read “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”…

Especially if when you get to the car (or any other situation) and everyone else is hyped up and yelling go go go, hurry hurry hurry, faster faster faster!

That is the exact time to slow down.
