prashu This comes out of experience and teaching. If parents have taught the child not to get perturbed for small things the child may also form such a style. Experience will tell us that whatever is to happen will happen and so there is no point in worryingt about things. Also have belief in God and bestow responsibility on His shoulders. transferring of responsibility to God is one way to maintain peacefulness.

true. parents play a very important role. since we can see parents only and not God in person -- we must respect parents.

good way, but we start blaming God if,the required work is not done, oh yes, experience teaches us many things, the parents play a crucial role, in child's life, that's what i feel, Parents are more important than God.

Each one of us endowed with different capabilities. Likewise, circumstances and situations that we face differ. It is easy to be calm when everything is going our way. It is difficult to remain calm when series of things start going wrong, and there seems to be no hope for things to improve. Sometimes, responsibilities bog the person down. Success if measured in terms of money may be that of the person who didnt face any problems and take on any responsibilities. But if measured in terms of overcoming difficult issues, and surviving the hardships, may be that of other person. I for one think, a person who manages to survive hardships, and still manages to make a financial grade, not necessarily of the highest level, is a very successful person.

Infinite power of Mind - The Mind has infinite power.
Be a calm mind means you're a very reflexive person, you think before to act. It's important to have a great self control of ourselves so we can face problems with more calm. I think a very good key of success is thinking in positive trying to avoid negative feelings in our personal life. It's no so easy as i'm writing but with training you can achieve it. Mind has infinite power we don't know yet. :)

you can think clearly and positively if you are calm while you are at a loss and tendency is to panic when thoughts are in turmoil. Now to help calm the mind, i'm not sure but i read somewhere that taking vitamin B complex could help improve quality of thinking.

prashu you are right in saying so that calm mind is really a key to success if you have a good calm mind even in times of trouble then you can find a way out of it. If a trouble is taken as trouble then it leads to more trouble. I like sharing views like this in mylot a lot.

Hello my friend prashu228 Ji, Well, I think, on eshould not get attarcted easily and remain restricted to his/her work, I have following capsule to share with you :- [b]SATSANG (a) ”If you can balance /stable your mind, when people around you are in un-balanced , and at the same time blaming you”. (NO-reaction) (b) “If you have belief on yourself, when others have doubt and at the same time, you strongly oppose their belief of their doubt” (c) “If you can wait for Good/Bright days without loosing patience/getting disheartened of waiting”. (d) “Everyone around you is deceiving you , whereas you are not in any way.” (e) “ Every body hates you and you do not, at the same time, you ARE not proud to be ‘good’ and ‘wise’. (f) “ If you Can dream, but do not allow them to overpower you, and you Can ‘think’ but at the same time, do not plunge into dreams of ‘thinking”. (g) “If you can welcome ‘gains’ and ‘defeat’ OR ‘profit’ & ‘loss’ with open hearts and they do not unbalance your mind”. (h) “If you can accept your own words in twisted/mutilated /distorted form, happily by ‘fools’ and they do not involve you in their bad plans”. (i)“ If you Can bear/tolerate the ‘gains’ accomplished by you ‘raise to ashes’ , for which you took whole life to build, and at the same time you can once again order your tired hands to restart making”. (J) “ If you can take one chance to reduce your gains in your life, ‘loose’ or ‘gain’ (like a great gambler) (k)“If you can, after loosing every bit in your life, get ready fresh to obtain the same with total energy from all corners of your body and mind, without uttering a single word even”. (l)“ If you Can compel your heart, mind and limbs, when they are so tired and refuse to accept any thing, except that your ‘belief’ and ‘desire’ to order them that they have to march forward and not falling back”. (m) “ If you can roam in crowds, but do not allow your ‘thoughts’ and ’abilities’ to wander stray, and you live with emperor, but do not neglect common man “. (n) “ If you are unharmed by people loving you and people hating you”. (o)“ If you Can respect everybody within the limits, but at the same time nobody”. (p)“ IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THE UN-EXCUSED MOMENT/SECOND (time) OF YOUR LIFE, AND EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE SAME”. Then, the whole world belongs to you only and every thing that exists on this, at the same time you fall under the category of ‘ACTUAL HUMAN BEING ’, which is greatest achievement in the life than any thing else”.[/b] May God bless You and have a great time

The key factor in keeping your mind calm is keeping things in the proper perspective. If you perceive something as worthy of worry and stress you will be anxious. If you perceive it as less serious, you can maintain your calm and not get worked up.

I really have to say that I don't really agree that a calm mind is the key to success. Instead, I tend to believe that the key to success is to have a restless mind. The reason that I believe that this is the case is because if a person has a restless mind, they are more likely to think in unique ways than a person that does not have a restless mind. It has always been people that think in different ways that have brought on the major innovations in the world.

Yes, i agree.. Calmness is one of the keys of success since if a person panics in the midst of his work or presentation, he or she will most likely not give the best performance.. That is one of my problems too, i panic when i need to give reports and the like.

when you feel secure with yourself and confident, you will be calm. when you believe in yourself, you will be sure that everything's gonna be Ok. how to get self-confidence? read books, listen to advice and open your mind for new information.

Oh yes, I would say that a calm mind is very important, but many of find this difficult. I practice Zen meditation that is a good training in stilling the mind and keeping it focused on the moment. But it takes practice. In many Eastern countries, meditation is seen as important, but being a discipline, it is something that is a challenge. Regarding success, the problem is that a paradox lies here, for if we strive or crave for it, even though we may get to be successful, it won't last long and then we start to look for more, and then our lives becomes a system of striving and struggling, and this leads us our of our calm mindfulness of the here and now, where no stress can exist, should we find ourselves totally present. _Derek

I do agree. Being of a calm mind does help a person remain focused and organized. How do we keep our minds clear? Keep the trash and negative out. Be attentive to that which is helpful not to those things that bog us down and make us stressful or unable to stay focused. Life is short so disciplining ourselves is very important.

It is somewhat true. I believe that if you have a calm mind you can think clearly. If you can think clearly then you can work well and everything follows. if you also have a clam mind you will now what to do and what you like to do.

one of the best way to keep our mind calm is.... to not unnecessary things into our mind. If something is going wrong in our life, try to make it correct. if not go for the next option but dnt stuck there itself and waste your time and life.

I think you mean courage to do all those things and face with confidence through faith in yourself. success doesn't mean have a stable job or etc but its about you desire to do and make it.
