/ˈplʌk.i/ (adj)

Definition

brave and audacious, fearless, intrepid, bold, courageous, gutsy, spunky, determined, spirited, resolute, dauntless, valiant, daring

Example

To become plucky in the face of problems, It’s exigent for you to think clearly. The first thing to do is take time out so you can physically calm down.

Distract yourself from the worry for 15 minutes by walking around the block, making a cup of tea or having a bath.

If you start to get a faster heartbeat or sweating palms, the best thing is not to fight it. Stay where you are and simply feel the panic without trying to distract yourself. Place the palm of your hand on your stomach and breathe slowly and deeply.
