Taming the beast.

When you lose your cool people lose respect for you. Whether you are right or wrong, all that is remembered is that you acted irrationally, you yelled and screamed and you lost control over your emotions. People may fear your rage, but they do not respect you as a result of it.

Fear and respect are two different things.

Fear:
a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, whether it is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

Respect:
esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability.

Pointing out the difference,
Me.
