Yes, equanimity is a great quality to possess. It means that you never get too high or too low. When things are really going your way, you know that things can change for the worse. Yet you can be content. When things are not going your way, you know that things can change for the better. And you can be content.

This doesn't mean that you don't try to achieve anything. It means that you can still be content whether you succeed or fail.

Thank you for reminding me about this word.
