dont panic
Keep your head
Don't panic is an instruction to stay calm despite alarming circumstances.
The phrase gained cultural currency from Douglas Adams's *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*, where it appears on the cover of the fictional guidebook.
It often carries a wry or ironic tone, acknowledging that the situation might indeed warrant panic: The server crashed, but don't panic—we have backups.
