Physical Reactions to Adrenalin These are some natural bodily reactions to adrenalin: Pre-fight Shakes Your legs, and possibly other limbs, may shake uncontrollably. Dry Mouth Your mouth may become dry and pasty. Voice Quiver Your voice may acquire a nervous and audible tremor. Tunnel Vision On the positive side, tunnel vision enhances visual concentration. Its negative by-product is the blinkering of peripheral vision. Sweaty Palms and Forehead The palms of the hands and forehead often sweat profusely. Nausea Adrenalin may cause vomiting, or the feeling of wanting to vomit. Bowel Loosening The recipient may experience constant urges to use the toilet.

One of the advantages we had at Pixar, from the beginning, was that technology, art, and business were integrated into the leadership, with each of the company’s leaders—me, John, and Steve—paying a fair amount of attention to the areas where we weren’t considered expert. We have worked assiduously, ever since, to maintain a balance among all three legs of this stool. Our business model, our way of making films, and our technology continually changed, but by integrating them we let them drive each other. The impetus for innovation, in other words, came from the inside rather than the outside.
