You know what does NOT help us swim in deep water? Dejectedly looking at the sky, putting your hands on your knees and staring at the floor, panic breathing as if an evil spirit just entered your mouth, holding your hand on your heart like it’s doing something unusual…

Funny question, easy answer. Hands off knees, off your back, ready for what’s next. Manage yourself.
