Story: Don't Let Your Temper Ruin Your Life

As the ancients say: When the water is deep, the flow is slow, and a slow pace indicates a virtuous person.

A person who can control his temper is surely a blessed person.

The bigger a person's temper, the less fortunate they are. If you are always critical, complaining, and dislike others, but never reflect on yourself, it is difficult to have happiness.

As the Buddha said: 'Anger is a slave of the heart.'

Master above, slave below. A person who cannot control his temper will always bother others.

Lin Xu was diligent and studious when he was young, and his mind was agile, but his temper was too irritable, and he often flew into a rage over a few words.

His father, Lin Bin, would avoid his bad temper by telling him a story:

One day, two big guys handed over a young man to the government office, accusing him of being an unfilial son with ten evils. The magistrate, with a righteous and irritable character, was enraged and immediately ordered people to beat the young man fifty times.

When the magistrate dismissed the case, a elderly woman with a cane came in and cried, 'Sir, please save us! Two thieves just broke into my house and stole my cattle. My son discovered them and wanted to hand them over to the government, but they were taken away by bandits.'

The magistrate realized that his temper had been used by others.

Lin Xu realized it. Later, he hung a handwritten inscription at a prominent location: 'Control Anger.'

A bad temper is a heart demon. If you don't control it, it will consume you.

Everyone has their own temperament and character, but this does not mean you can vent your anger. A good or bad temper not only affects your quality of life, but also affects your fortune.

In life, we come to be happy and joyful, not to be angry and troubled. Foolish people only get angry, while smart people know that anger is not as good as being vigorous.

There is a saying: 'A good temper is like a sunny day, casting light everywhere, making you radiate light.'

Having a good temper is one of the greatest blessings in life.

Don't let your temper block your fortune.

Let's all be able to control our temper and treat our family with kindness.

The ancients said: 'One person occupies a corner, and the whole room is unhappy.'

Regarding families, if one person loses his temper, everyone in the family will be affected by his emotions. A bad temper is a public nuisance, which can greatly damage the warmth and beauty of the family.

Popular host Li Jing, who was already gaining a reputation at CCTV, decisively decided to resign and start a business. In her entrepreneurial days, she endured a million dollars in debt and went around soliciting investments, attending client dinners, busy with meetings, program planning and production...

During those difficult days, she drank too much and cried to her heart's content. But as soon as she arrived at home, she immediately wiped away her tears and acted like nothing had happened, entering the house as if nothing had happened. Because she knew that she could keep bad emotions outside the door, and those left at home would be peace and tranquility.

Today, Li Jing has become a billionaire entrepreneur. But no matter how busy she is at work, she still sets aside one day a week to visit her grandparents and reunite with her family.

The Analects says: 'Do not harbor anger, do not commit two wrongs.'

A bad temper is like a virus. If one person in a family has a bad mood, it will quickly infect the whole family.

However, in this world, becoming a family is a kind of fate. It is better to treat people with a gentle demeanor than to treat them with a bad temper.

Don't let your bad temper and ambition be as big as yours. The more accomplished a person is, the less he is angry. A good mindset leads to good relationships, because it understands tolerance; a good mindset leads to smooth things, because it doesn't stick to details; a good mindset leads to a happy life, because it knows how to let go.

Don't let your temper and ability be as big as yours. A person with a good mindset is round and smooth in all aspects, and achieves everything smoothly.

Life is given to you, and mindset is decided by yourself. Whatever temperament you have, you will ultimately have what kind of life.

Zhu Xi says: 'Merit is fortune, no anger is no misfortune, a broad heart leads to a long life, and a large heart leads to a wise mind.'

A good temperament is a valuable asset in life.

Wang Dan was a famous minister during the reign of Emperor Song Zhen.

At that time, he and Kou Xun were both of Emperor Song Zhen's left arms and right wings. Wang Dan often praised Kou Xun in front of Emperor Song Zhen, while Kou Xun often spoke ill of Wang Dan.

One day, Emperor Song Zhen 'confided' to Wang Dan: 'Although you praise him, he is honest and direct, which is why I admire him.'

Wang Dan listened to this, smiled and said: 'This is natural. I have served as a minister for a long time and handled many affairs, so there must be omissions. Kou Xun is honest and outspoken in front of you, which is why I respect him most.'

This matter was later told to Kou Xun, who was very ashamed and praised Wang Dan for his magnanimity.

Later, Kou Xun admired Wang Dan for his tolerance.

After Kou Xun was exempted from his position as a state minister, he wanted to take the position of 'Prime Minister,' so he asked Wang Dan for help.

Wang Dan was surprised and said: 'The position of Prime Minister cannot be obtained by private request. I refuse.'

He directly rejected Kou Xun, which made Kou Xun very disappointed. But in the subsequent appointment of officials, Kou Xun unexpectedly obtained the position he had been dreaming of – the position of 'Prime Minister.'

Kou Xun was surprised and delighted, and then thanked Emperor Song Zhen: 'If it weren't for you, how could I get such a good position?'
