“The man who is bigger than his job keeps cool. He does not lose his head, he refuses to become rattled, to fly off in a temper. The man who would control others must be able to control himself. There is something admirable, something inspiring, something soul-stirring about a man who displays coolness and courage under extremely trying circumstances. A good temper is not only a business asset. It is the secret of health. The longer you live, the more you will learn that a disordered temper breeds a disordered body.” MenTryingDoeSoulSelfBodyAbleJobsLosesSecretHe ManCircumstancesBiggerRefuseAssetsTemperDisplayAdmirableStirringCoolness Author:B.
