Relationship between stress level and performance

Solution
Everybody deals with stress in his own way depending upon his genetic predisposition and environmental conditions. Stress works just like a key-operated toy. If the key is wound too much, the arrangement would break. At the same time, if it is wound too less, the toy won't work as it should. Similarly when stress exceeds a limit or if it is very less it will deteriorate the performance. Only under moderate stress, we can achieve optimum performance. This phenomenon can be explained with the help of the following diagram.
