Composure
I don’t know why but this word came up.
Composure.
Dear Sir, please pause your reading and think about what this word (composure) means to you.
In my college, when you start your 2nd and your 3rd year, you come in to school 3 weeks before courses start, you group up with 2 other students (I partnered with the only 2 girls in my class), and you do a mini-project with them.
Yesterday, I got in to school, I partnered with the 2 girls, and we settled on a project. The professor asked us to present the project to him this morning.
He said it was too light.
Not enough workload.
Just too easy.
So we changed the project. And the workload is much bigger. And it’s so different from what we had settled on yesterday.
It’s funny how composed the three of us were. Completely calm and peaceful. Very basic.
That’s what Composure means to me.
Having a giant just appear right in front of you and still being calm.
A lot of people like to challenge their comfort zones in little ways.
Going to a Starbucks. Lying on the floor and making weird moves with your body. Then just leaving…
Deliberately picking in your wallet to give the exact amount of change, but doing it soooooo fuckiiiiiiing slooooowwwwly, just to make the waiting in line longer…
All of those are extremely useful practices to developing Composure and other valuable attributes. Have fun with them, it’s all harmless. Only good can happen to you.
