________________
The word sorry is very powerful. It decreases the temperature of any person to fifty percent. Always use three phrases in your life - Please, Thank you and Sorry. As many times you say please, so the angry person will get pleased. He will feel gratitude having been thanked and after telling the word 'Sorry' there will be an inculcation of humidity of peace in the atmosphere of anger.
Never let your anger appear when any mistake takes place because loaning, wounds and fire should never be let to increase and anger should also be not allowed to appear. Develop a habit of to be little silent. The best and sweetest thing in life is to be silent. Let others abuse if they are compel to do so but you have not to respond or react except being quiet. Do not accept or adopt the anger of others. He may be of an angry temperament but what matters it if you keep patience. Ignore his anger. If you accept his anger, you will be compelled to have a slavery of anger. Only anger is such a bad thing that it not only declines our soul but also disturbs us mentally as well as creating a break in our relationship.
But anger will not disappear only by telling or listening to all these things. It will decrease and disappear when we take an oath, when we resolve not to get angry as it has many fatal effects. We should adopt a message of being quiet not to get angry.
Treat all politely. It will help in avoiding an atmosphere of anger. Develop a habit of to be cheerful everytime. Smile for a minute as soon as you get up. Smile in such a pleasant way that your every nerve get exalted. Smile before performing any act whether it is a matter of meeting parents, teachers or any guest. You will find even the reverse circumstances suitable for you. Develop a habit of smiling even under severe circumstances.
