I don't know how many are fimilar with Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy, but your advice is proven in the series. Not that anybody ever follows it, but it's good advice none the less. Thank you. |
Great book, and excellent advice.
Intuitively, it doesn't sound right that you need to be careful - in a turn by turn computer game - not to panic, but you do.
It's all too easy to over react and abandon caution in order to attempt to rescue a situation that went poorly, or take risks hoping for a lucky outcome.
I agree that the way to make a 'come back' in fire fight or battle that's not going well, is to stay calm and make careful and sound tactical and strategic decisions. You can't make these decisions while in panic mode.
I've made some very unlikely comebacks, when I've managed to heed this advice.
