Anger

Today I lost my temper towards one of my students. In my defence, she still forgets things that I have repeatedly told her umpteenth times,things I even wrote it down in her book. Nevertheless I know that even if I have to tell her one million times, I shouldn't be losing my temper. I feel really guilty about it actually. Today, I promise to practise more patience and keep my temper in check.

He who restrains his rising anger as a skilful charioteer checks a speeding chariot -- him I call a true charioteer; other charioteers only hold the reins.
~Dhammapada Verse 222
