Take it easy…

Doing business in Denmark and trying to get processes done while the danish collaborators can hear me that I am stressed and they say to me the magic word: “Take it easy”

Amazing.. in an another culture this could be, at least, offensive but here everything is taken easy.

In Greece, I only heard a similar expression during summer 2015, where we were in a deep economic crisis and having a feeling that we are all in a boat ready to sink. One magic word was said by my ex wise manager “Ψυχραιμία” while we were attending a summer reunion of HR community organization. This word gave me the same relief to take a deep breath and continue.
