Performing under Stress

[Note: This post doesn't discuss stress caused by interpersonal problems.]

Ever wonder how you should study for exams? Ever wonder why your exams turn unsatisfying in spite of your effort?

Actually, during exams, you are experiencing stress. Everybody experiences stress, and everybody react to it differently.

 

Some Examples of Stress Sources

Job interviews, scholarship interviews, performing concerts, university exams, preparing university exams are some sources of stress.

 

How Do You Perform* under Stress?

This interesting question is taken from “Managing Oneself” by P. F. Drucker, 2005, page 104.

[*perform here is not related to performing arts]

Frankly, it is not necessary to know how you perform under stress. However, if you make use of it wisely, you can know when you perform best. Once you know when you perform best, you can make the environment to match with your comfortable stress level…….. which means that you can succeed!

Learn jazz. Find a friend.

[Or something similar.]

What did I find? What did I find?

Every complication is always started with small things called VALUES.
