Matthew Henry was the author of such phrase, he was a clergyman who lived during the XVII Century (A.D. obviously). Nowadays everyone repeats such phrase as if it was an obvious statement, but then again, I think good old Matt meant it in a whole different way (or so I would like to think in order to avoid ranting against the Church once more...) the thing is... calm does not arrive after the storm necessarily, but rather it's how we perceive things that enables us to see the light at the end of the sh*thole...
Therefore, in order to achieve calmness, we must renew our perspective and try to panic for a short period of time and then move on, it is impossible to move on before panicking, and it isn't quite healthy to panic and stay panicked ad perpetuam. Therefore, we must first be pummeled to the ground in order to rise once again and sometimes even stronger than before.
But make no mistake, I'm not an optimist but rather like to think of myself as a fighter, and therefore wired to rise up once again in order to keep fighting (not that I know the purpose of rising up again and again either, but between action and inaction I think the first one must prevail over the latter).
And so, I stumbled upon this Ted.com talk by Neil Parischa and found it not only inspirational but logical and useful, and thought it would be best to share it with whomever reads this (if anyone does).
This post, being the third of today concludes with the trilogy of posts previously mentioned.
Once again, I've got no copyright over it and suppose all copyright is property of www.ted.com
