The Control You Have
I believe in controlling your anger, no matter
how big or small the situation you are in is.
Working in retail allows me to defend all retail
employees. Many customers do not realize what I have to deal with as soon as I
walk into my store while we are busy. I get bombarded with multiple tasks to
take care of within the first 30 minutes of my shift. Whether it is counting in
to my register or helping a customer with whatever they need. And then I get
yelled at because I have not completed all my tasks because I was too busy with
a customer; who made me walk around the store, picking out multiple clothing
items only for them to purchase one item. Only leading to ringing up a customer
who gets angry with me for the price of their purchase; something that is
beyond my control. I believe in not retaliating by yelling back because the
customer is always right, I control my anger.
I learned to control my anger from the people around
me. My mom always tells me not to get involved in a fight I would not want to
look back and regret. My dad sometimes acts quickly on his anger, resulting in
many slammed doors and hurt feelings. My eldest sister gets her anger from my
dad, getting irritated with many simple, small things. My other sister can
control her anger, but most of the times, all of the fighting begins with the
bickering of my sisters. As I watch my family pretty much tear each other apart
with words and rage, I sit back, controlling my anger.
Learning to control my anger instead of getting into unnecessary fights is probably the most important quality to have. Those who do not have control could easily let anger make them lose sight of the important things in life. I believe to control any emotion is better for everyone in the span of things.
