About This Quote

When you don’t know how to deal with a problem and your emotions rage out of control, you can feel like you’re going crazy.

It is not always easy to avoid going crazy in life, but with the ability to keep a cool head, it is possible to be happy and successful. You can learn from your parents’ example of how not to be an emotional wreck.
