1. You are in red clad from head to toe, you are wearing a black cap very similar to that "Lucknowi topi" or "Gandhi topi", but it is much thicker than that, you are holding a big red cloth standing in a stadium, a big crowd all around shouting, noising, in an excited and elated mood, you are in Spain, and you can see a bull running towards you in the full speed, yes you are a bull fighter in Spain and is going to ditch the bull. Now, you are representing a particular part of that country and people of your village are there to excite you....they are betting on you.....they are screaming in excitement and they have a confidence on you. Cameramans and reporters from Discovery, National Geographic and Travellers are there to cover your this dare. Now, you can see the bull running towards you, he is furious by the red cloth in your hand, he wants to kill you and tear down the red cloth completely.........he is coming towards you faster and faster with the increasing pace......now, tell me is your heart pounding?? are your legs shaking?? are you thinking about the people all around you?? are you thinking about being completely failed in this situation and its embarrassing consequences??



2. Again consider a new situation....you are the best performer of your ballet dancing class and your dancing class got an offer of a big stage show for welcoming a meetings of presidents of all countries in U.N., where you had chosen with one another actor to perform a ballet dance in front of all those very important person. Your dancing class is a newbie in the field but your class grabbed this offer because in the previous show you gave a scintillating performance and caught the eye of big fish of the market. They saw you performing and liked it so much that they rejected all other offers and chose you.
Now, the entire future of your and your dancing class depends upon your performance in that show. You did hard work and today is the day when you have to perform in next some minutes, you are ready in your classical ballet dress, your partner is ready, stage is ready, all important persons had taken their seats and waiting for performers to appear on the stage, a soothing music in the background is started, ballet dance is all about balance and confidence, you started dancing, people are watching you.....you are broadcasted on TV, internet, radio, and moreover those hundred very important people who are ruling different countries, your one wrong step can cause catastrophe to you and your entire dancing class, you had to perform with utmost balance........now, tell me are you feeling pressurized during dance?? where is all your attention?? what are you thinking?? what is going on in your mind?? are you thinking about the media coverage?? are you thinking about the Important people around you??are you thinking about your career after this dance??are you thinking about being failed in this situation??



3. Now, consider yourself to be a football goalkeeper representing a country that is on the spree of making hattrick in this Fifa World Cup. You are the best goalkeeper of the world, any opponent team had never scored any goal in your presence at goalpost. Your team has confidence in you, they trust you, your alone presence made your team to win as opponent never got a chance to score any goal in your presence. Now, your country is playing in the final match of the world cup, match is getting difficult for both the teams as both have zero score upto the 40 minutes of the game and in the 41'st minutes bacause of a silly mistake opponent team got the chance of Penalty!!!
Your team trust on you, your people trust on you, entire world has a confidence on you, people are betting for this goal, billions of dollars are on stake, many people have a so much confidence on you that they bet their entire property on this goal, they are considering it to be highly impossible for the opponent to make this goal......you are in the focus of all TV cameras, reporters, commentators, and public........if this shot convert into goal your team will not only lose the match, but, lose the chance of making hattrick too.....your career and trust will be soiled.....you will never be able to show your face to the public......you may be the target of a public anger and outrage......
Moment has been arrived...people are watching you....cameras are watching you....the player has shot the football, ball is in air proceeding towards the goalpost at a very fast pace.....you were able to decide where it is heading...you started runnning in that direction.....ball is very near to you....you jumped in the air....caught the ball in your hand....you are falling to the ground.....people started screaming in joy......you maintained your trust........ suddenly, something happened...you lose your balance....ball slipped from your hand and before you gain your balance it hit the net and converted into the goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
