I am a typical guy who is quite cool and have long patience. I tried to control my temper by not be affected too much on it. If things get off hands, I stop, step away for awhile and keep silent try to pray silently for patience. I usually think of the consequences if I loose control and got mad what will happen. What harm will it done to others and how it will reflect on my personality.

Well loosing cool has always been a long problem and a bog one too especially for guys and guys who have girlfriends. I mean girls are usually the sensitive type and if guys then get angry at them for simple problems then i guess the relationship would be over. I control my temper because i think of the after consequences of it. I would think what would i do if i loose my temper and how would it affect the others. It's quite simple and effective also. I distract my mind from whatever cause me to become angry in the first place. That's how i would stay away from anger and i am sure you could try that also! Cheers!

Losing one's temper is definitely detrimental to one's personality. When we lose our temper, we become so angry that we might do stuffs we usually would not, say things we would regret afterwards. When i am very angry outside, i would usually walk away first, to cool myself down and to breath in and out and start counting from 1-100. this method might be old-fashion, but it does work. Remember not to say anything when you are angry, otherwise, you'll definitely regret when your anger subside.
