âAnger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, everyone should be serene, slow-pulsed and calm.â
Robert Green Ingersoll
Have you come across people who are very calm even though the situation outside is very disturbed and tense? Remaining calm is an attractive trait. Remaining calm does not mean you are ignorant of the problems facing you.
A calm person is one who is mature enough to appreciate the issue, has planned his course of action, and knows how to handle the same. He knows what to do and what not to do. He would have taken the help and guidance of professionals. When things go out of his hands, he will remain calm, and at the same time planning to handle any crisis.
If you do not plan or think ahead of an upcoming crisis, you will be tensed. It is not the event which causes this tension; it is your lack of foresight!
When you are agitated or tensed up, you are most likely to make mistakes.
It will be a good idea to list the names of few people known to you who are calm by nature and know from them how they are able to remain calm. It is useful to understand their mental programme.
Can you recall to your mind the last occasion when you felt very tense and disturbed because of the external situation.
