Don’t cry and don’t rage. Understand.

About This Quote

No one wants to be around a person who cries and yells and is generally unglued. This is especially true for someone who works in a highly stressful environment. It would be much better to have a colleague who understands the pressures of the job and can take it all in stride than someone who is racked with guilt and shame.
