Anger Prevention Kit

A match stick has a head, but it does not have a brain.

Therefore, whenever there is a little friction, it flares up immediately. Now, at times the effects of this flaring up can be devastating as it can engulf a whole lot of many things and play havoc and cause destruction.

We have a lesson to learn from this tiny match-stick. All of us have heads. And unlike the match-stick, we have brains as well. Therefore, our wisdom lies in not reacting on impulse - a habit of great importance when managing people.

The Way You Speak

Once an old wise man sat meditating under a tree. He was blind. A man came up and said: "Hey! old man, did you hear anyone passing this way?" The wise man replied, "No, my good man, I did not hear anyone."

After a while another man went up to the old wise man and asked, "Old man, did you hear anyone going this way?" The wise man replied, "Oh yes, a man went by just now and he asked the same question." The man went away.

After some time another man came and asked, "Noble sir, did you hear anyone passing this way?" The old wise man replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. A soldier went first and then your Chief Minister. Both of them asked the same question." The man was surprised and asked, "Good sir, how do you know that I am a King and that the other two were a soldier and a Chief Minister?"

The wise man answered, "Your Majesty, I knew them by their manner of speaking. The first man spoke very rudely. The second man was a little more polite, but Your Majesty was the most polite."

The King went away astonished at the wise man's astuteness.

Winners vs Losers

Be a Winner

The Winner says "Let me do it for you;
The Loser says "That's not my job."

The Winner says "It may be difficult but it's possible";
The Loser says "It may be possible but it's difficult."

When a Winner makes a mistake, he says "I was wrong";
When a Loser makes a mistake, he says "It wasn't my fault."

A Winner makes commitments;
A Loser makes promises.

Winners say "I must do something";
Losers say "Something must be done."

Winners see the gain;
Losers see the pain.

Winners see possibilities;
Losers see problems.

Winners choose what they say;
Losers say what they choose.

Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things;
Losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values.

Winners make it happen;
Loser let it happen.
