Behave . . . . Like a Duck

Motivational Power Quote

Behave . . . . Like a Duck

“Always behave like a duck – keep calm an unruffled

on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath.”

Jacob Braude, Circuit Court Judge   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Behave . . . . like a duck

When you see a duck on the rainy days you’ll see that the rain . . . . is beading and running off the ducks back. You need to behave like that duck. When you encounter those rainy days in your life . . . . you need to allow the rain to bead and roll off your back . . . . and not become unraveled.

You will also notice that the duck seems to be gliding smoothly through the water . . . . with a sense of ease. What we don’t see is . . . . how hard the duck is paddling under the water surface to go forward.

Some days you are going to have paddle as hard as you can . . . . to make progress and to go forward.

You have to remain calm when you are navigating the turbulence that

. . . . you have encountered. When you lose your composure and become disheveled . . . . you lose focus on the issues. Instead making progress you paddle around in circles without . . . . any real purpose or progress.

Behave . . . . like a duck . . . . and once you set your course paddle as hard as you can to get there.

Remain Cool and Composed Under Pressure

Motivational Power Quote

Remain Calm and Composed Under Pressure

“Nothing gives a person so much advantage

very another as to remain always

cool and unruffled under all circumstances.”

Thomas Jefferson, 3th US President

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Remain caim and composed under pressure

Under pressure always remain - the calmest person in the room.

When someone trying to back you into a corner; remain calm and keep your emotions under control.

In a negotiating environment when someone is trying to bully you or take advantage of you remain poised and focused on the solutions.

The person that can stay in control of their emotions stays in control of their circumstances. The person who remains calm in challenging environment creates personal power, and creates an advantage in whatever circumstances they find themselves in.

Remain calm and composed under pressure and you will remain in control of your circumstances.
