Stress is a mental reaction to stimuli.  Don't let things get to you and you won't have stress to deal with.  This is of course related to stress not related to physical stress such as heavy lifting and such.

TL:DR  Be optimistic instead of a pessimist or realist.

This is why we have religions and/or spiritual beliefs.

Coors Banquet beer, mostly.

Also, activities that offer the opportunity for continual learning and improvement are helpful, because it gives you a sense of purpose and enjoyment.  If they are beneficial to others, even better.

Continual learning happens with or without active interrogation.

The difference would only be in structure, not quantity.

I read TP4 threads and then realise how much better off I am.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
