Tame your emotions and don’t freak out!

Everyday you face multiple situations where you come to a point where you may take a certain action. I have a simple rule for my daily decisions and actions.

Always ask yourself what you can win or lose.

• Is it worthwhile to get into a verbal fight with your boss?
• Is it worthwhile to help a certain person?
• Is it worthwhile to complain about something?
• Is it worthwhile to argue with your friend?
• Is it worthwhile to make a new enemy?
• …

Focus on being smart. The right actions are not always the smartest actions. A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will.
