Equanimity

Stress, strain and pressure give a perfect description of modern life trends. In an attempt to become a paragon multi path ways are preferred, which lead to tense situations. Success is inversely proportional to tension.
This can actually be illustrated with the recent victory in the Twenty20 cricket match by Indian team. During the tense situations in the last overs the captain of the team maintained his equanimity while the batsman from the opposing team gave up himself to stress and tension , leading to a wrong decision of hitting a shot. This cost them a victory.

As people tend to grow to higher positions they need to manage large number of things, this puts them under pressure. All these situations can be easily faced with equanimity of mind.

Equanimity is usually not easy to achieve when the situation is beyond control. Various other options can be perceived in this regard. Eg Yoga, meditation . Even a pleasant sleep or a small walk can achieve calmness when executed at the right times.

Thus the great pillar stone for success is composure and equanimity.
