During Times of Crisis----Drink Ice Water

It was the stock market crash of 1987. On the telephone squack box the senior brokers from New York were advising the younger brokers not to jump----in our office, as I looked around I saw all the older brokers sipping ice water. It was no time for nerves now. Use lots of ice. Stay cool.

The last time I had seen such ice sipping was in the room of a patient close to death who could only sip ice water.

So---sip ice water. Stay cool. And pray that when the opportunity for decisive action comes you will have the cool to make the clear headed decision.
