THE CALM TRANSCENDS THE STORM
August Man SG
|Issue 220 (December 2025)
LET THE YEAR'S FINAL PAGE REMIND YOU: CALMNESS IS A DISCIPLINE, CLARITY A COMPASS. STEP INTO 2026 WITH BOTH IN HAND.
THIS IS THE LAST PAGE of the last issue of the year. All the battles fought, the daily toil of self-reckoning, the push-pull between endurance and excellence that you experienced has led you here. Before you receive the first dawn of 2026, I recommend that we take in these words by one of the most reliably inspiring sages of our time, Mr. Robert De Niro: “Be calm. When things are going well, be calm. Don't think you're on top of the world...Take what's good in your life and move forward cautiously and carefully.”
The quote hails from a widely shared social media snippet I discovered a few months ago. Words can be profoundly nourishing, and what makes De Niro's especially so is that their meaning is so thoroughly and utterly real.
