How Stress Can Be Good

Found this interesting article at the crack of dawn. Oddly enough on my way to the gym.

The premise is how our bodies atrophy without regular stress (exercise) when we age. How this can also be applied to our minds. And basically that stress can be good for you.

How have you pushed yourself? Was it through a sport, a major in college, a job or something else? With some introspection did you grow from the experience?

I know some of you guys want to go into IB and other intense fields. This article might be a good reference during those interviews on why you enjoy a demanding and stressful job.

Here's the link.

Just like working out...make sure to rest enough. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...or it can just wear you down until there's nothing left, fatigue makes cowards of us all. Rest up, balls in, party on.

Get busy living
