How to Control One's Temper Several years ago, an employee of an oil company, Edward T. Bedford, made a wrong decision, and this brought about the damages more than two billion dollars. At that time, Rockerfeller was a chief executive officer (CEO). In that case, most employees in the company didn't want to meet their CEO, but Mr. Bedford was an exception. He went to his manager's office in time, and was willing to listen to the criticisms from the CEO. When Mr. Bedford came into the room, he saw his chief writing something on a paper. After talking to the chief, Bedford understood that his manager listed a lot of his advantages on the paper in order to keep his temper. The more you know about other's advantages, the better you could control your anger toward that person. Hence, whenever you're going to be angry with someone, you should sit down, think about and write down a list of that person's advantages. And you should look for as many advantages as possible.
