How to avoid stress in a fact-paced society?

Now, we are living in fast-paced environment. It’s indispensable for us to have lifestyle to get along with this environment. I can demonstrates two possible solutions to avoid stress.

First, to release my stress, the best way is that drinking beer with my listening to rock music at high volume in the daytime on weekend. Old rock music is my good medicine such as Pink Floyd, Queen, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen. The biggest stress annoying me is one related to work. It is consisted of many aspects such as demanding boss, tough project schedule to meet, technical improvement and achievement of patent quota. However, I can handle this stress through applying the drinking solution. Besides, this solution sparked the idea as derivative effect. Some patents I applied are ideas using this method. I can’t help saying that this solution is panacea for me.

Second, to avoid conflict as much as possible.
As proverb goes, Don't kick against the pricks. Bow to the impregnable.(長いものには巻かれろ) I’ll take an example from my work place. We had a huge trouble on the semiconductor chip design. But we need to proceed another project at the same time. I insisted that we should focus on troubleshooting at the first priority. To my surprise, my boss insisted that workforces should be divided into two teams. I was reluctant to follow his direction with lacking foresight. But it’s better than stress caused by conflict.

When I was at early 30’s, I used to be bloody-minded. I welcomed the heated argument over touchy issue. But I’m over the hill any more. I feel comfortable that I accept compromise rather than conflict.
“What will be will be” is the best motto for me to avoid conflict.

In conclusion, I focused on two aspects to avoid stress. Compromise and drink-listening to rock music is effective for mental stress.
