01:23 Chapter 6, ACUTE Situation - When we are caught off guard, startled, or suddenly approached.
04:51 Pausing in ACUTE Situations. Short and effective. Developing split-second improvisational skills. Transforming a spontaneous pause into a conscious pause. "I was caught off guard, they got me." Making a micro-goal, only planning for the next few seconds. Acknowleding that we momentarily lost control in order to regain control. Not having an ACUTE Situation snowball on us.
09:34 ACUTE Situations involving Money. Physiological in their nature. That cold sensation running through our body. Analogy where you and I are two chimpanzees contesting a piece of fruit. There is an 'animal' element to our exchanges of goods and services. Most successful businesspeople, and salesmen, are physically attractive, imposing, and physiologically competent - they have charisma. In a speedy development, our Money will be more vulnerable to a physically attractive, and competent, person.
15:17 How we feel about one another is both abstract and complex. We can always PAUSE, for a second or two, and see if we identify the current Situations as an ACUTE one - can we feel that cold sensation running through our body? If yes, then we might best retreat, and come back later.
