What is meant by presence of mind? Let us see whether the intelligence alone helps us to succeed in life. Even if we are most efficient in performing our works, the presence of mind is often required. What is meant by -presence of mind-? It is the capacity to think quickly, to act wisely and solve the problem, in case of emergency. If a crisis comes, we should not overflow with emotions, creating a tension mood in the atmosphere. We should stay calm and act sensibly. The self-control is very much necessary, to act with presence of mind. We should not say whatever we think and do whatever we like, in case of emergency. Thinking in the right path and doing the right thing are most important. For using intelligence correctly, presence of mind is required.

Where to apply presence of mind? Saying that we should act calmly in emergent situation, we should not delay. We should learn to act fast and in the correct method, to solve the problem. It is not that presence of mind is required only in emergency situations. In an interview or competition, we should prove our ability by applying our presence of mind. In the competitive world, there are many qualified persons in all fields. While going for job hunting, the final decision will be taken by testing our presence of mind. We should learn to master others, by our acts. We should show how we are more fit than others, by proving our intelligence and acting with presence of mind.

What are the situations compelling to act with presence of mind? For a sales person, to convince a customer and make him to buy his product is very much required. If his intelligence could not help, he has to apply his presence of mind. He may tell some practical examples which the customer may show interest or he may act in a practical way. I have heard a story of a salesman who could not make the customer to buy his scent. The salesman pretended as if he spilled scent on the floor of the house of customer accidently. When he was about to leave, the customer called him and made a great purchase of scent, as he liked the appealing smell of the scent.

In a meeting many people were talking for hours and the audience were not at all interested in the speech. When the last person came, nobody had the mind to listen. He just stood in front of the mike and told,- I have prepared a lot to share with you and I would like to share with you on some other day. Thank You-. That small speech impressed everybody, as he acted with presence of mind. The positive use of intelligence and timely action along with presence of mind, could help to earn good name.

The time conscious is more important. In one incident, the police people removed the timer, before the bomb squad arrived. If the bomb explode before the arrival of bomb squad, that may end in heavy loss to human lives and other things. The courage and the presence of mind of these police people were appreciated by all.

By training our brain and sharpening the memory, the power of presence of mind could increase. We should practice to act promptly and sensibly. We should keep our mind alert. We should try to find out the best solution for a problem, quickly. The children should be trained well to use the presence of mind. In the school, the teachers may test the presence of mind, by asking several questions. At home, the parents and other family members, may equip the child to act with presence of mind. For everybody, the presence of mind is required, to act correctly, in emergent situations.
