"Bajo presión, no nos elevamos a la ocasión, caemos a nuestro mayor nivel de preparación."
— Biz Stone
Simplified Meaning:
When we are in a stressful situation, we don't magically perform better than we usually do. Instead, we rely on how well we have prepared beforehand. Imagine you are taking a difficult test at school. If you studied hard and practiced a lot before the test day, you will probably do well, even if you're nervous. But if you didn't study much, just hoping you'd do fine because you usually get lucky, you might not do as well. This idea can be applied to many areas of life like sports, work, or emergency situations. For example, firefighters train regularly so that when there's a big fire, they know exactly what to do. By preparing well in advance, we ensure that even under pressure, we can handle the situation effectively. So, it's important to always prepare and practice, rather than just hoping things will go well when the time comes.
