Presence of Mind

The Japanese word 平常心 meaning "Presence of Mind" is composed of the kanji 平 (read hei) meaning "peaceful; even", 常 (read jou) meaning "normal, ordinary" and 心 (read shin) meaning "mind, heart, spirit". This is used especially in the martial arts, such as Kendo, to remind the student that one's mind must remain calm and tranquil when under attack.
