U r eatin breakfast with ur family. Ur daughter spills coffee on ur business shirt. U hv no control over wat just happened.

Wat happens next, however, will be determined largely by how u react...

After scoldin' ur daughter, u turn to ur wife and criticize her for placin' the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. U storm upstairs and change ur shirt. Back downstairs u find ur daughter has been too busy cryin' to finish breakfast and get ready for skool. She misses the bus. Ur wife must leave immediately for work. U rush to drive ur daughter to skool and pick up a speedin' ticket along the way. At skool, ur daughter runs into the bldg. without sayin' gdbye. U arrive at the office 20 mins late, discoverin' that u've forgotten ur briefcase. When u go home that evening, u find a small wedge in ur relationship with ur wife and daughter...

WHY?

Becoz of how u reacted that morning.

Here's wat could hv happened...

The coffee splashes all over u, but this time u gently say, "It's okay, honey; u just need to be more careful next time." Grabbin' a new shirt and ur briefcase, u change in time to look through the window and see your child gettin' on the bus. U arrive 5 mins early at work, cheerfully greetin' ur colleagues...

Two entirely different outcomes, both dependent on ur reaction.
