美麗英文 Keep Your Cool 保持冷靜
Everyone would have heard the famous phrase" Anger is one short of danger".It is anage-old adage, but it istime testedand stillholds true.Thing said or done during anger havecreated havoc witha lot of people and things.The tightly packed bag of mental frustrationerupts into a volcano of anger.每個人可能都聽過這句話：憤怒距離危險僅一步之遙。這是一句古老的格言，其正確性歷經時間的考驗。憤怒時的所言所行會對許多人和事情造成傷害。那種壓抑在心頭的怒火遲早會如火山般噴發而出。
But basically let』s try to analyse why one gets angry? When one is not satisfied with the way things have gone, when someone has been taken in for a ride（被帶去騎馬）, whenone blames life for treating him very badly, andmany such trivial things are the various reasons.All the frustrations get collected on one part of our mind and when we can bear it no longer,our feelings are ventedin the form of a volcano of emotional tantrums. Anger isone of the major hindrances in self-development, because it narrows our outlook. The mind looses itssense of logic and fairness, when it is accelerated by the arrogant mood of anger.當心靈被被憤怒和傲慢的情緒鼓動的時候就失去了它的邏輯性和公正性。
Getting angry can get your things done somewhere, but not everywhere. This is because as you grow, you yourself are responsible to clean your recycle bin of emotions and frustrations. No onehas the foresight or capacity to judgewhat has bought you to that violent mood orwhat hardships you have faced.Angry people hardly go places. The closer one comes to this piece of reality, the better he will get.憤怒可以幫你達到某種目的，但並不適合所有情況。其原因是，隨著年齡的增長，你有責任去調整自己的情緒，抵制挫敗感。沒有人有那種遠見和能力，能判斷出擾亂你心緒的原因所在。經常發怒的人難成大事，而懂得這個道理的人則容易獲得成功。
The best way to counterattack angeris toimbibe patience in ourselves.A person with infinite patience has matured mentally,and is the bravest war-horse over the path of anger. He controlled himself everytime and got away from trying circumstances using the best lifeline available.Such people are always in peace with themselves and are always enjoying life.培養耐心是抵制憤怒的最好方法。有耐心的人心智成熟，似一匹勇敢的戰馬可以超越憤怒。他可以隨時控制自己的情緒，並採取最有效的方法擺脫困境。這樣的人總會平心靜氣地享受生活。
After all, it"s all in a state of mind. (無論如何，這都取決於你的心態）。Everyone has two opyions.One is anger and the other ismaintaining your composure through patience. I choose the latter one. What have you chosen?
