2. Stay Calm Under Pressure

In Navy, there's a word said "Calm is smooth, smooth is steady, steady is fast". When facing an emergency, your mind will naturally desire a solution immediately. Instead, pause and assess the situation to ensure you have accurate information to act on, plan your action. Then, when you choose to act, you can do so steadily and quickly.

Calm will control your emotion, as emotion is the enemy of good judgment. Emotions can sometimes serve as mental blinders.
