Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"The important thing that I have learned today is that when something must be dealt with, we should never send the one most resiliant and resistant to the something, but the one who will enjoy the dealing. Even if that one does not seem the choice most likely to survive or succeed on the surface. A survivor focuses on surviving. One who can find joy in a task can have the task done with a happy whistle and no worries about the consequences of failure.

"She who is too focused on the possible fall will not be able to rleax enough to maintain balance on the high wire. She who is enjoying dancing on the wire will be relaxed and concentrating on her center of balance and where she places her feet.

"This is not to say that disregard for danger or hazard is the desired attitude, but the ability to focus on the needed skill with happy intensity will keep the available energy on target."
