What is the difference between being bored and being calm?

<p>Can one become the other? </p> <p>Being calm in a crisis is a good thing. Being bored in a crisis would be... odd (I was going to say weird but that seems judgmental). </p> <p>Could being bored actually be unrecognized calm?</p> <p>Why is sitting on the beach watching the waves lap at the shoreline calming but doing it all day every day would become boring?</p> <p>This idea has been kicking around in my head for a while so I decided to ask a few of my smart friends (I'm lucky that I have lots of them). </p> <p>Kelly Stewart, Rick Alcantara, M.A. and Jonathan Gaev MSE, PMP were kind enough to jump into the topic with me and what fun we had! </p> <p>What do you think about calmness and boredom? </p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Rick Alcantara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickalcantara/    Jonathan Gaev: www.powerofproject.com  Kelly Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellystewart2/  Dr Robyn Odegaard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</p> <p>Want a summary of the five Quick Hits I post every week, plus the links to the LinkedIn pages of each of the panelist to show up in your in-box every week?
