The calm one

The person who doesn't flinch, and quietly teaches you that steady is a skill.

Everybody knows one. The friend who gets the bad news and just handles it. No spiraling, no big show, they figure out the next step and move. For a long time I thought that was a personality you were born with. It's not, it's reps. Watch how they slow down while everyone else speeds up, and you start doing it too.

Keep one of these close. When your own week falls apart, you'll know what calm actually looks like instead of guessing.
