Being out of control is one of the worst feelings in the world, sometimes even worse than pain. It is its own kind of pain. ~Danzae Pace
Self-control is easy to define. You can base it from the two words that comprise it. “Self” and “control” which means “control self” or the control of oneself. But’ do we really find it easy to apply self-control when we need it? When we are tempted? When our feelings are about to burst because of anger? Or in many other ways that tests our self-control?
Self-control is an important character to possess. Absence of self-control sometimes puts you in to trouble like the man in the video who lost his job. Having self-control is also a sign of becoming wise as the book of Proverbs says,
“A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.”
Proverbs 29:11 (NIV)
So, if you want to be tagged as “wise” and not as “fool” and to be kept away from trouble, you have to develop self-control. Even though, at first you will look at yourself to be pretending to have self-control, they say, “Fake it until you have it”. Here are some practical tips from www.wikihow.com.
