Life lessons

Geez, another wonderful post from Waiter Rant, about a busy night in the restaurant:
"I silently chant the mantra Navy Seals use when training for close quarters combat, Fast is slow. Slow is fast. Watch your fields of fire, pick your targets, aim center mass, squeeze the trigger. The faster you go, the more mistakes you make. The more mistakes you make, the deeper in the shit you will be. Go slow. Try not to make mistakes. Be one with the battle yet transcend it. Float above the action, survey the scene, target immediate threats, and dispatch them with ruthless efficiency. It’s a good thing I’m armed only with a wine opener."

Good mantra. I'll have to remember that, next time...
