Reactions to Pressure
In East China University of Political Science and Law, a student was extremely angry just because the teacher's kind reminding so he spilled a cup of hot water to the teacher's face, causing severe burns on teacher's face and back. We don't rise to the level of ethical and moral firstly and just pay attention to the student's extreme behavior. Clearly it is entirely due to preparing for the postgraduate examination and bear too much pressure. His behavior is the reactions of under too much pressure and he chooses the extreme action to hide his fear instead of using the positive way to face it.
Under too much pressure makes people be more sensitive and they will do something out of control. This student is preparing for the postgraduate examination and we can see that he worried about it very much. Because if he is brave enough, he won't care about what other people's ideas.
His behavior is completely extreme and all his action is just the way to hiding his fear. It is obvious that the teacher's words made him sensitive and he can't control himself to think about the effect of the teacher's words. It's a typical way for most people when they worry one thing so much. But to our surprise, he put his anger into practice.
Despite his behavior is very extreme, in fact, in its essence it is a kind of response to pressure but just the wrong way to responding it. His emotion was completely controlled by his pressure, and at this point he can't use a positive way to eliminate his pressure right now. That is why the tragedy happened. However, if he used the positive way to reduce his pressure and the result is certainly not the same. Though it is not easy, it is still worth trying it. If you feel that you can't insist on reviewing, doing exercise is a very good way to distract attention. Going another place and trying to make yourself relaxed are also good options. In a word, there are so many positive ways for you to beat the stress. Do remember your action is always bigger than your pressure.
Everyone is under pressure, so suffering is very normal thing. But why there are different results? Your reactions are the key to this question. Adopting a positive way and being brave enough and you can turn your pressure into motive force, rather than such a tragedy like the student.
