Daniel Levitin, the speaker of TED Talk, also known as a neuroscientist by training, commenced his presentation by sharing his stressful moments such as loosing home keys in the middle of a frozen night and forgetting his passport in the rush hour of his important business trip. Those happened consecutively and made him panic as hell. At the moment when he met one of his friends, he was given a precious insight about confronting a hard circumstance, namely prevention. This is when someone is able to figure out what might go wrong and minimize the further risk.
When performing under a nerve-racking situation, the brain releases cortisol, a powerful hormone involved in the regulation of metabolism in the cells and helps people regulate stress within the body. Cortisol tends to raise the heart beat, boost adrenaline and create cloudy notion. As a result, someone is unable to think clearly. This is the right time to pause for a while and reconsider the possible impacts that might be occurred and how to prevent them. Prevention is effective to avoid foolish actions as well as for the decision-making.
