Lailah Gifty AkitaNever lose your temper.
About This Quote
When you are in a tense situation, there are two things that can happen. You can either lose your temper. Or, you can wait until the proper time to be angry. It is tempting to get angry when you are in trouble.
This will help you feel more powerful. However, it is far more important to keep your temper in check. Your anger will only make the situation worse, and make everything worse for everyone else around you.
Take some time to think of all of the possible scenarios that could go wrong before reacting.
