A fool shows his annoyance at once,
but a prudent man overlooks an insult. *
Rings way to close to home for me. How do you deal with these issues every day? Work is one of the places I constantly struggle with having the right response to something I disagree with, especially if it's the second or third time I've had to deal with the same issue.
Of course, King Solomon had an answer that explains why you never send that e-mail right after you wrote it; why you wait and ponder before you answer; why you think twice before making a brash comment in a meeting. Because you want to be prudent, and not be a fool.
Something I think I'll be working on the rest of my life.... :)
* Proverbs 12:16 ( New International Version )
