OH, GREAT WISE ASS, I LOST MY TEMPER WITH ANOTHER DRIVER WHO CUT ME OFF AND I PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE. HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY PATIENCE WITH OTHERS?
THE KEY IS TO REMEMBER THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS OUT THERE STRUGGLING JUST LIKE YOU.
THEY HAVE FEARS, SETBACKS, INJURIES, HEARTBREAKS, AND ALL THE DAY-TO-DAY PRESSURES THAT COME WITH JUST BEING ALIVE.
SO THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL YOURSELF GETTING ANGRY, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, SHOW UNDERSTANDING, AND REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
EASIER MY WAY.
MAYBE I SHOULD RETIRE EARLY.
YEAH. THIS GUY STILL BELIEVES IN UNDERSTANDING.
