How to Handle Pressure?

My colleagues once asked me, how to handle pressure? I have a three-step solutions to offer.


First, you must be mentally prepared for the pressure. There is no job without pressure. There is no study without pressure, if you are a student. Even as a family member in whatever role, we face pressure. So we must be able to know what type of pressures we are going to face. We must also predict how heavy is each of the pressure. Then GET READY to face the pressure! Once you are ready, you will simply accept the pressure and face it squarely, no escape, no complaint, just accept and face it.


Second, most pressures are due to interpersonal relationships. As a worker, we face problems with our boss as well as our subordinates. At home, we have problems with our family members. In schools, our classmates, teachers and headmaster seem to be problematic. If we can handle INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP well, most of the problems we face do not arise. What we do will be smooth. Whenever we have problem, our colleagues, friends and schoolmates would be willing to help us. There will be less pressure!


Finally, in whatever capacity we are, DO OUR BEST! Most of our bosses, colleagues, family members, teachers and friends would be able to accept our performance if we have done whatever job given to the best we could. In fact, if we are hard working and yet underperform, they would offer helps and advice so that we can improve ourselves! It is only if we have contributed the best of our abilities that we are able to grow in any institution we are in. There would be less undue pressure due to our performance.


In order to fulfill the three criteria above, we must be have POSITIVE thinking. We must be prepared to face pressure and be able to work amicably with people around us, as well as put up our tip-top efforts in the  role we play.
