الْوَحْدَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ: أَخْلَاقِي.. حَيَاتِي.

Unit Two: My Morals, My Life.

إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ عَلَيْكَ أَوَّلًا أَنْ تَنْتَبِهَ إِلَى الْإِشَارَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ؛ وَهِيَ إِشَارَةٌ تُنَبِّهُكَ أَنَّكَ فِي حَالَةِ انْدِفَاعٍ؛ فَعِنْدَمَا تَشْعُرُ أَنَّ قَلْبَكَ يَنْبِضُ بِسُرْعَةٍ أَوْ أَنَّ صَوْتًا بِدَاخِلِكَ يَقُولُ لَكَ: «افْعَلْهَا الْآنَ!».. هَذِهِ إِشَارَةٌ أَنَّكَ عَلَى وَشْكِ الِانْدِفَاعِ، فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَسْتَخْدِمَ هَذَا الْجِهَازَ؛ أَيْ تَوَقَّفْ لِلَحْظَةٍ، وَخُذْ نَفَسًا عَمِيقًا، وَأَعْطِ لِنَفْسِكَ فُرْصَةً لِتُفَكِّرَ فِي النَّتَائِجِ الَّتِي تَتَرَتَّبُ عَلَى هَذَا الْفِعْلِ.

If you want to act, you must first watch for the red light. It is a signal alerting you that you are acting on impulse. When you feel your heart racing or hear a voice inside you saying, 'Do it now!', that is your cue that you are about to be impulsive. Use this tool: stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and give yourself a chance to consider the consequences of your actions.

وَالْآنَ أَخْبِرْنَا: مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ عِنْدَمَا تَكُونُ غَاضِبًا أَوْ مُتَسَرِّعًا؟

Now tell us: What do you do when you are angry or impulsive?
