10 Baby Steps To Be Calm Under Pressure In School (and At Work) by darejulius: 1:40pm On Oct 17, 2015 |
The pressure was mounting. I almost quit school after writing my finals. The project was just frustrating and the pressure from my supervisor was not helping. It was one of the most intense period of my stay on campus, running up and down to get things done. Calling lots of people to help with the mathematical simulation of my results data. I was up one night, crying, moving from one lecture theater to another then finally went to the hostel and put my head under a running tap for like eternity. Later in the night, I took a laptop, went into one of the classes (architecture drawing room) and watched AY LIVE comedy all night. I was laughing and chatting on whatsapp. When I was done, I watched few movies (can't remember the titles now). Then, I listened to some upbeat music and slept off around 5am. I can't remember how I did it but at the end of the day, I was using Excel solver to program the mathematical models. I had never used Excel before and it was like doing a break dance the first time you tried walking. A few weeks later, I went back to campus to teach someone who was doing a similar project. At the beginning of my final year, I was often out of classes. A friend came up to me and said, "Dare, you've been walking up and down... What's up with you?". "This motion is keeping my sanity... Dunno what would happen if I stopped walking.", I replied. To see opportunities when others see discomfort...to be calm under pressure, I do one or a concoction of the following. 1. Eat, sleep and play These are the basics of life. 718 years ago when we were still in the cave, the goal was to seek for meats, cover and mates. Then civilization came and it went, it came several other times and this cycle will soon leave. To be calm under pressure, disengage from the situation and go and eat. Cook it yourself if you can. Sleep over it and... www.thedopeculture..com/2015/10/10-baby-steps-to-be-calm-under-pressure.html 1 Like |

No matter how badly someone talks to you or treats you, never drop down to their level. Remain calm, stay peaceful, and walk away. |

It is refreshing, and salutary, to study the poise and quietness of Christ. His task and responsibility might well have driven a man out of his mind. But He was never in a hurry, never impressed by numbers, never a slave of the clock . .B. Phillips |

At the end of the day, just know that God made you, so you can be your own individual, and don't let people give you that peer pressure. Wyclef Jean |
