About This Quote

In other words, when we feel strongly about something, our actions can be a little less careful. This is a good thing in some situations, but it can lead to a mistake when we are in a position of responsibility. For example, when we’re in charge of a company, our emotions may cause us to overlook important details. Or when we have a family, we may act on impulse rather than thinking things through.
