The Nine Way (Be Still)

Be Still

To be still is a person who is calm and collective and doesn't give in to pressure. You always want to be still even if you didn't know what it meant before. To be still is a quality of a leader being able to keep a cool head under difficult circumstances. For example, yesterday I had a soccer game it was our game to win, we knew we were the better team, but one mistake that we did the other team counter attack and scored. All of us were disappointed, so as the time running out we began to be the opposite of being still. All of us had a hot head and we were screaming and at each out why did you do that. You can probably guess what happen next, we ended up losing the game and it was because we weren't being still and being calm and collective. It's vital to be still because it helps you not lose your head in a close game like us. Its never good to lose head in a close game because then all the teammates also lose there heads. I found a great quote by Lao Tse Tung its a great one because it using a metaphor in his quote. He states, "Be still like a mountain, and flow like a great river". I like this quote because it shows us to just flow like the river and not go against.
