Cool as a Cucumber

I am sure each one of you would have come across people or is one such person who remains unruffled and remains cool, calm, composed and level-headed in face of any adversity. Unfortunately, I am not one of those, though I have, am and will be trying to be one such person.
What impresses me the most is their confidence & firm mind along with the usual cool as a cucumber. I have always wondered how are they so calm. Is it that they are so very confident of themselves that they can pull of anything? Or is it that they are so observant that they can read any forthcoming situation, find the pitfalls and plan a course of action well in advance? Or is it that they have reached the Tao of life? Or have they not faced such situations?
They think so much before they talk and know exactly how to talk, how much to talk, what to talk, how to react. How do they even do it? If you want to know of some such personalities, then Anil Kumble (Cricket), Steve Waugh (Cricket), Manirathnam (Movies) etc.
Most inspired to write this after watching the tamil movie Kandaswamy and the protagonist Vikram's character.
If you the secret then do let me know. I am all ears.

Vivek,
Those days, I was impressed by the tennis legend Bjarne Borg. In his case, I thought it was attributed to his low heart beats or something to that effect. It was an interesting blog. This weekend we managed to watch, "Unnai Pol Oruvan" on the big screen. Most of us found this to be better than Kandaswamy.

Hey, this is Rohitha !! Just chanced upon your blog. I like it :-)

Reg this post, even I am one of those hyper, forever ruffled creatures. Could never figure out how some folks maintain their calm demeanor! Tis a secret I guess !!

Cheers!!
