Pressure

Right now in science class I'm learning about pressure. Specifically, air pressure.

But there are so many different types of pressure. Air pressure, time pressure, peer pressure, blood pressure.

The word is full of PRESSURE.

People are always saying "I can't work well under pressure," but that's kind of general. Do you not work well under a time limit? Or when the stakes are high? Or when someone is literally pushing down on your head?

Okay, so probably not the last one. But still, everyone probably has some kind of pressure that they can't work well under. I know that sometimes I can't work very well under the type of pressure that involves other people. I almost always make some mistake when I play a piano piece in front of people, even if I can play it perfectly alone.

It's that pressure.

There will always be pressure, but I think people can get used to it. Think about this: air pressure has been pushing on us since we were born. But we don't feel it, because we're used to it. Maybe other pressure is like that too. It will always exist, but it won't always be felt.
