Sometimes being under pressure to perform makes you more efficient - you have little time but need to make the most of it - so you create solutions that minimise stress, that can be quite innovative.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the stressors!!Superchilledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480825797997399121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-4426185002877387102007-11-01T13:45:00.000+00:002007-11-01T13:45:00.000+00:00Hey, that was one of the first thought that came a...Hey, that was one of the first thought that came across my mind when I met you!

And it meant exactly what you have observed and said in your blog GB.<BR/><BR/>I think you have a good balance of stability (stable job), chaos (your relationships), peace and fun (your seemingly numerous holidays which are the envy of me!) and skills (your analytical mind and programming skills) which culminate into a level of tension from which creativity can spring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-48310774706103421832007-11-01T13:12:00.000+00:002007-11-01T13:12:00.000+00:00Interesting post, GB.You're fortunate that you can...Interesting post, GB.<BR/><BR/>You're fortunate that you can manage your stress better than most, making it work for you rather than against (not something I'm good at!). I agree with the old adage that to create a diamond, you must apply pressure. <BR/><BR/>It's also interesting that you see your work, or at least your approach, as being creative - not something I'd normally associate with banking. I've recently learned that creativity doesn't begin and end with art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
