“Galvanized people can do careless things. It is in the extreme and emotion-laden moments that distance and coolness are most required. I am tempted to howl in rage. It is not my place to do so.

Rage has its place, but actions must be taken with discipline and thought.” PeopleTryingMadeMomentsActionJobsCan DoEmotionTakenPlansHappenedEventsDisciplineDistanceExtremesRageTemptedCarelessHowlCoolness Author:George Friedman
