9 August 1999 - crisis survival
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Two qualities matter in trying to survive a hot precarious crisis.
They are coolness under fire, which requires you to duck,
and thinking on your feet, which requires you to stand up.
The next time you confuse 17th Street with 17th Avenue and wind up late
for your job interview, you must remember this dilemma and resolve it in
the only possible way. Stand tall and quack.
