“The most consistently successful commanders, when faced by an enemy in a position that was strong naturally or materially, have hardly ever tackled it in a direct way. And when, under pressure of circumstances, they have risked a direct attack, the result has commonly been to blot their record with a failure.” WayStrongResultsEnemySuccessfulRecordsMilitaryPositionCircumstancesDirectPressureConsistentlyCommandersUnder Pressure Author:B.

“A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is forced into a position by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit and the press of [circumstances]... The man who is ambitious to lead is disqualified as a leader. The true leader will have no desire to lord it over God's heritage, but will be humble, gentle, self-sacrificing and altogether ready to follow when the Spirit chooses another to lead.” MenSelfSpiritDesireLeaderLordSacrificePositionHe ManReadyCircumstancesHolySafePressurePressesHumbleGentleHoly SpiritHeritageAmbitiousInwardBe HumbleTrue Leader Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

“Without a sense of the shame or guilt of his or her action, the child will only be hardened in rebellion by physical punishment. Shame (and praise) help the child to internalize the parent's judgment. It impresses upon the child that the parent is not only more powerful but also right. Like the Puritans, Locke (in 1690), wanted the child to adopt the parent's moral position, rather than simply bow to superior strength or social pressure.” ChildrenHelpingActionWantedSocialParentPowerfulMoralPositionJudgmentPressurePraiseShameGuiltPunishmentSuperiorsRebellionBowsImpressPuritanHardenedSocial Pressure Author:C.

“In Formula 1, the neck is really important. There's a lot of force that's going to your head. We also have a helmet and it's not that light. When it's all about g-force, all of that extra weight in the helmet compounds and puts more and more pressure. To be able to maintain your head in a straight position - especially around the corners and while braking - you need to have strong neck. To train that, it's difficult.” NeedsImportantLightAbleStrongForceDifficultPositionWeightPressureTrainCornersExtrasNecksFormulasCompoundsHelmetFormula 1G Force Author:Valtteri Bottas
“I've never been in the position where that conversation is a serious conversation before the movie even comes out. On one side of it, that's so great because you've got such great potential. The other side of that is that there's a level of pressure. Now, that clearly means that there's an expectation level, from the studio side, potentially from the audience's side, and from our side.” MeanSidesLevelsAudiencePositionSeriousConversationExpectationsPressureStudios Author:Will Packer
“I started going blind and my optic nerves of my eye started giving me tunnel vision. I also started fainting a bit and struggling to think. I felt a lot of pressure in my head all the time. That was when it got too much. I'm in a very, very fortunate position now where I've had it taken out once. And now it's back I'm being monitored. I think people at home should be checked for this.” PeopleThinkingGivingShouldHomeEyeFeltBitsVisionStruggleTakenToo MuchPositionPressureBlindFortunateNervesTunnelsFaintingTunnel Vision Author:John Newman
