Will Rogers

“People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing.”

Will Rogers
1879 - 1935
American Cowboy, Comedian, Humorist

It’s about being human.
We all get angry just as we all laugh.

But too much anger is destructive 
to you and those you love.

In every situation, there is a small space between
What happens to us and how we choose to react.

We do have a choice.

When something happens, force yourself to use that space.
Take a deep breath.  Count to ten.  And think.

Do whatever it takes to widen that gap enough 
to allow a mature reaction.

How we react influences those around us.
It’s inevitable.

Every action results in a reaction.
So, choose wisely.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
