Old Question, New Comment: Q: I couldn’t make it to last session on morale strategies but I’m dying to ask you this... Shit is poppin’ off, you’re all suited up, jumping out of the X-jet would you rather be following Scott or Ororo? C: The “Pyrric victory” concept in this chapter really resonated with me. Real talk: I got pretty emotional when this idea fully reinforced lessons learned the hard way in past relationships. Been in that situation where both sides lose despite the appearance of victory. Pride’s a bitch.

Any advice on dealing with wasteful people? If they're the enemy that's great but sometimes you gotta work with these fuckers, it's something I find very frustrating.

This chapter sort of contradicts the previous "death ground" strategy of putting yourself in a position of desperation. Fighting economically means avoiding desperate measures. How does one reconcile these two approaches? Comic sidenote: what do you think of the complete missed opportunity of putting a fart joke to elevate Elizabeth: The Golden Age, the pathetically sad sequel to the wonderful 1998 Elizabeth movie? The set up, "I too can command the wind" was right there, but it was played straight with a dumb, dramatic reading.

How difficult is it for you to pace yourself when trying to achieve a goal? How do you address this when in the moment?

Hi again Professor! I was an intern for two years in a business position I realized almost too late I hated. 5 months away from graduating, with an almost certain offer, I decided to give this opportunity up for a position in engineering I liked more. I had a couple of months to prove myself worthy or go back to my hometown to live with my mother. I put myself in a position in which I couldn’t turn back. I fought for this job and I won. Now I have a job that is very well paid, that has opportunity for growth and that I like, but I don’t love. But now I want something else, I love skiing and snowboarding, it’s something I want to do as much as possible, specially while I’m still young. For this, I’ll have to renounce my current situation and move to another country. I don’t know if this war I’m having with myself is worth fighting or is just the result of abundance making me bored with what I have and looking for shock. Have you ever been in a similar situation? What did you do or what do you hope you had done?
