These days, I found that I am easily stirred up by my delusion and negative emotions that took my rational away.
Luckily, I have come across a handbook namely, Present Moment Wonderful Moment by Venerable Thay. This book has taught me how to be mindful in dealing with daily tasks.
I would like to extract one passage from this book as to remind myself to control my own anger and be calm and steady in order to work on every things I am accountable for.
The wisdom of words are:-
To explain this, the author has given a scenario as an example.
When you are angry, it is like a house burning. When we know that our house is burning, we must first put out the fire instead. Searching the person who starts on the fire and then throw the blame on him/her would not do any help.
Therefore, when we are angry, we should first control this emotion and be calm by mindfully breath-in and breath-out meditation.
You can also count: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 to hold on.
Or recite your God's name.
Forget about why you are angry. When you feel better that time, then, you should find the solution. Angry would not harm others but only you yourself.
Also, be compassion. Forgive the person who irritates you. You should find the cause(s) why the person do so. Maybe he/she does not mean to hurt you due to ineffable difficulties. Or maybe you are just being sensitive.
So ladies and gentlemen,
Control your anger before it controls you.

Breathing out, I do not want to be contorted by anger.
Breathing in, I know I must take care of myself.
Breathing out, I know loving kindness is the only answer.
