Well, for one, engineers take physics class and know that planes fly
becuase they have to due to Bernoulli's principle, and not merely by
accident or luck :) (That's the "rational approach"). Math majors
understand that statistically, millions of man-miles are flown every
day with no mishaps beyond lost luggage and running out of pretzels
too soon. (The "good odds" approach). For business and fine arts
majors, they simply don't want to show fear and risk ridicule by their
teammates (the "macho approach"). Some just still figure they are
invincible (the "ignorance is bliss" approach). The remainder probably
just take Valium or practice relaxation techniques.
Hopefully one of those work for you!
