Self-Restraint
Our first objective will be the development of self-restraint.
This carries a top priority rating. When we speak or act hastily
or rashly, the ability to be fair-minded and tolerant evaporates
on the spot. One unkind tirade or one willful snap judgment can
ruin our relation with another person for a whole day, or maybe
a whole year. Nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen.
