Patrick's biggest fear is rain and flooding, because he sells paper. The paper is heavy, and it is not convenient to stack goods upstairs, so they have to be placed on the first floor. However, in the past two years, it has flooded with heavy rains.
"Oh my God! It's still half a foot away... Oh! Only two inches left..." Every time it rained heavily, Patrick was nervous, staring at the standing water outside the door, but fortunately every time there was no danger.
On this day, the hurricane came, heavy rain poured down, and the front of the door suddenly turned into a small river, and in the blink of an eye the water level overflowed the threshold. Before Patrick could even pile up the sandbags, the hundreds of thousands of goods in the store were already soaked.
Everyone in Patrick's shop went out to try to salvage some paper. But the problem is that the paper absorbs water, seeping from the bottom up to the pack, and the water outside is constantly pouring into the store. While everyone was busy and overwhelmed, Patrick braved the heavy rain alone and waded out in the water.
The clerks looked at each other and thought, "I probably went to move the rescuers." But hours passed, the rain stopped, the water receded, and Patrick returned alone. At this time, even if he brought back dozens of rescuers, what was the use? All the paper in the store is reimbursed. Paper stained with sediment will not even be sent to the paper mill for recycled pulp.
Patrick and the clerks cleaned up the mess and moved the shop to the first floor of an old apartment, and this time he brought in two or three times more goods at once. "He's not drowned, waiting for the door to close, right?" Some clerks talk about this in private.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the typhoon came again, heavy rain poured down again, and the streets turned into rivers again, and more severe than the last time. Many cars parked on the side of the road were soaked, the basement became a swimming pool, and many people had to climb up to the roof to avoid the water.
At this time, the people on Patrick's side were standing at the door of the store. Looking to the left, the street is flooded; Looking to the right, the street corner is also flooded; Only this section of Patrick's store actually had nothing to do at all, and it became one of the few places in the city to survive the disaster.
The flood wiped out almost all the paper shops, even the paper mills. People were anxious to use paper, printers were anxious to restock, publishing houses were anxious to publish books, everyone came to Patrick with cash, and Patrick sent it at once.
"You really know how to find a place." A colleague lamented to Patrick, "We have flat terrain here, nothing particularly high." How you usually look at it, you can't see that you are high here, how do you know? ”
Patrick smiled and said: "It's very simple, the last time my store was flooded, I saw that the paper was all gone, so I simply waded through the water and ran around the city while it was raining, wanting to see if there was any place that was not flooded." So, I found here. ”
It is said that in order to be calm and calm, it is necessary to get rid of the series of emotions of impatience, restlessness, anxiety, and tension in the face of crisis. Chaos and a lack of self-confidence to manage the situation are the causes of anxiety.
Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the form of the crisis and strengthen the psychological quality in order to find a solution. "The wind knows the grass, and the cold sees the pine and cypress." To succeed, in times of adversity, you need to withstand the storm.
