Don't Get Mad - Get Even

Published: Jul 9, 2004

Application

Getting mad is unhealthy for you and others. Sometimes it may be healthier to have fun getting even.

Since, it's a good idea to keep your cool when you feel you are getting angry about something or with someone, use the holding time to create an ingenious way to counter-attack. Holding your temper avoids doing or saying something which you will later regret. Your thinking during the delay may reveal the whole matter was your fault.

Creativity involves timing, succinct one-liners, surprise and waiting for the right situation or place. Include these and more in your planning or, you might call it scheming. It is said that humor is the highest form of creativity. Observe how successful comedians demonstrate these skills.

If at all possible, for your own well-being, attempt to gain a friend or an advantage from the source of your anger. Otherwise, you don't really win, do you? Going for the Win-Win adds to your stature and continued good health.
