A.The Scripps National Spelling Bee has become a highlight each year. How do the children handle the stress? Shalini Shankar's 2019 book "Beeline" revealed their surprising ability to stay calm.

B.A media mogul, talk-show host, self-help guru, author, publisher, motivational speaker, actress, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey keeps a busy schedule balancing her many businesses and a constant stream of challenging situations.

"The reason why you're always stressed is that you want this moment to be something that it's not," she once told Entertainment Tonight. "You just stop and you accept this moment for what it is.

C. French daredevil Philippe Petit made headlines on August 7, 1974, when he walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. The illegal stunt (he was arrested when he finished) took place on a 131-foot cable wire about 1,350 feet above the ground as Petit walked back and forth between the iconic skyscrapers. Petit performed other stunts in his career (including a walk between the two towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris) and continues to do smaller events today in his early 70s.

Be ready to be very afraid, to scream in terror. The more terrible your expectation, the calmer you will be when you see that reality is much less horrifying."
