"There are two kinds of troubles a man can be in : trouble that he can do something to cure, and trouble that nothing he can do will cure. if he is in the first kind of truble, the longer he thinks about it, the worse he'll be: let him start at once, let him get into action and try to remove the trouble. That will help him to feel better very soon. but if it's a trouble he can't cure, let him dismiss it from his mind and think of something else." -- Teddy Roosevelt
Recently I was reading advice on heading off anger in all its forms, including "pet peeves":
1. Ask yourself, is this worth thinking about any longer?
2. If yes, is my anger justified?
3. If yes, is there something that I can do about it?
If the answer is no to any of these questions, then drop it and move on, otherwise take action!
