Cultivate a presence of mind

There is a common term here to mean a person lacks the presences of mind. We laugh at our poor friend, "why are you so blur?" to mean this friend does not know what is going on in his or her surrounding, be it a conversation, joke, gravity of a situation or lack of control of own actions.

That's why one of the most important aspect of a cultivated life is to show a presence of mind in everything you come across as that will put yourself in a confident and esteemed self.

Marie Callas espouses clarity of mind when we are dealing with life situations. For example, do not spout unintentional rubbish or rumours from your mouth as that may aggravate a situation or harm someone's reputation. Before answering, think how will your answer affect the outcome. Smart man can answer fast and wise!

Being sensitive to what others feel, widening your perspective will not only help you get through whatever that hinder your happiness, it also helps people to understand their own anomalies, too. I hope you get my point. It won't be easy, but please do your best. :)
