Day 55
7th September 2011
How often you hurt others' feelings? You may not know every time you do so, but the concerned person will remember. In fact people may forget when they are praised, but they will never forget when they are insulted. When chocked with emotions, we may not know what we say and how we say the same. It is very difficult to build healthy relationship, but it takes only a few moments to destroy. Like a broken class, it is impossible to patch up completely.
Perhaps you can follow the following tips when you have to speak while angry:
- It is wiser to remain silent for a few minutes before you speak out when angry.
- Be conscious about the words you are using.
- Count ten before you blurt out. Spoken words will not come back.
- Resolve to be pleasant even when you are angry.
- Recall what and how you spoke last time when you blew your top and the consequence.
It makes sense to build mental maturity to behave well when we are upset. It is part of our personality development exercise.
