The story of Lincoln

Lincoln is a very attractive president. One day, while he was in his office, Army Secretary Stanton suddenly came in angrily and shouted, "Damn Smith! He said I was partial to my man and insulted me in public! " "What did he say?" Lincoln asked. "Don't mention it, can't you see that I am shaking with anger?" Reverend Stanton's beard was cocked up and his chest rose rapidly. "My dear, sit down. What are you going to do? " "Me? I won't let go. You wait and see, one day I will teach that arrogant boy a lesson! "

Lincoln smiled and said, "I think you should give him a good scolding. You might as well write him a reply. " "yes! Mr. President, your suggestion is so good that I will write it right away. " Soon, a sharply worded letter was written, which cursed Smith. "What do you think?" Stanton proudly handed the letter to Lincoln.

Lincoln read it with relish and said, "It's really well written! Do you feel better now? " "Yes, your way is better." Stanton said, let the secretary get the envelope. "What's with this envelope?" Lincoln asked. "Give it to Smith? Do you want me to deliver it myself? " Stanton's eyes widened. "What nonsense!" Lincoln grabbed the letter and threw it into the fireplace. "I asked you to write this letter to calm your anger. Now that you have said everything you want to say, you are in a good mood, and the mission of this letter has been achieved. Of course it will be destroyed. " Stanton still seems a little confused. Look at President Lincoln and the letter that has been reduced to ashes, and I am at a loss.

Lincoln patted Stanton on the shoulder and said, "That's what I do when I'm angry. I wrote to calm my anger. You should know that it is harmful to accumulate dissatisfaction in your heart, but it is not the best policy to fight back or vent to others. Now, if you are not satisfied, write another letter and burn it. If you feel better, go back to work. "

In our work and life, we often encounter many unsatisfactory things. It is best to deal with things after dissatisfaction, because when we are in a bad mood, our behavior is often irrational and we will regret it. It is harmful to accumulate dissatisfaction in your heart, but reckless counterattack or venting to others is equally harmful and may make things worse, so stay calm and don't get emotional!
