What Crisis?

The Chinese word for crisis consists of two characters



So in Chinese crisis means something like


Crisis = Danger + Opportunity




Let's apply this to daily life.

No matter how great the danger in a crisis is, it also means a change of circumstances that gives room for new opportunities.

Try to see them when you're in the middle of a crisis.


Even better, just like in a storm :



Try to stay in the eye of the storm.
After all, as you know it is still in the eye in the storm.

This reminds us at the words of Rudyard Kipling in his famous poem "IF" on my blog "Never give up".


So when you're in the middle of crisis :
  • Don't run
  • Set time still (Let time do the work)
  • Keep your head together
  • Wait for the opportunity, no matter how hard it is



Some more tips on how to behave in crisis situations you'll find on
