Keeping it cool

Keeping it cool and by that I mean not the weather but your demeanor. When you are at work or meeting, one thing that always is easy to do is lose your temper. While its not always easy, but your body language or facial expression gives away what you must be thinking or about to lose it. I always have believed in - what you see is what you get. I have always have been like that at work. Somehow when rules are compromised because your senior thinks its 'ok' to do so, your priniciples of following a process that was set in place and what you end up doing in the end always messes your thinking process. Or should it?

Being reasonable is not hard to do. There is always a middle ground for every situation to resolve. What I don't particularly like is use of one's positional power. If processes are created so everyone follows it, then that is how it should be. You cannot clout your decision based on your personal feelings towards a person or organization that they are representing. I am not asking people to become M.K. Gandhi or Mother Teresa, but a little consideration for the rules we create to do things in a proper way. So there is equal opportunity for everyone. We all are adults and should behave like one...
