Some is even beneficial.No one can escape it, for without stress no one would even be alive. A child sitting up for the first time is even under stress. So is an athlete trying to win race, an artist performing on the stage, a student facing an important examination.

What is important is not so much the stress itself but how people react to it. People differ widely in their response to stress.

A study was conducted in Cleaveland.Various professionals were attached with Portable Electrocardiographs to measure the impact of stress on the heart. The researchers measured cardiac stress in surgeons performing life-and-death operations, in lawyers in the heat of courtroom trials, in television broadcasters meeting deadline schedules, in high-powerd advertising men, and in skydivers. They concluded it was not the high-tensions job that produced emotional stress but individuals's personality. A nervous, high-strung person can develop heart stress even in a seemingly placid job in a library,while an imperturbable tycoon with three telephones ringing at once can take stress in stride.

According to Dr. Karl Menninger, the eminent psychiatrist that we all go through life trying to survive withthe least pain and the moat pleasure we can get. This goal requires trying and failing, trying and succeeding, trying and comprosmising. It involves moving forward, stepping aside, stepping back, perhaps even running away.
