HAVE YOU EVER HEARD AN AMISH ADULT YELL?

An author for Reader's Digest writes how he studied the Amish people in preparation for an article on them.

In his observation at the school yard, he noted that the children never screamed or yelled. This amazed him.

He spoke to the schoolmaster. He remarked how he had not once heard an Amish child yell, and asked why the schoolmaster thought that was so. The schoolmaster replied, "Well, have you ever heard an Amish adult yell?"

The next time you loose your temper (I don’t see why they call it loose you temper…it’s your patience you’re losing)  think the word LOGIC.  Shout it to yourself.  Write it across the roof of your mind.  And then apply it. 

Because as long as it remains no more than apphilosophical eercise inside your head it will continue to be mostlyworthless...ful of sound and fury and signifying noithng.

Logic says...
 you don’t want people to dislike you and not want to have you around.  Logic says that the more you gain a reputation as an angry person the less gain you will have of friends. 

And yes...ask yourself whose fault it was the last time you had an all out blowout with someone or a full blown pout? 

I’ll bet it wasn’t all their fault. 

What do you think? 

We can be our own worst enemies can’t we.

Do you want to fill your days with weariness?  Anger does that.  It wears one out.  Think about that.

Memory.  I remember the people in my lives who have provided miserable examples of how to live.  Whose anger made them say and do things that filled my memory bank with such inopportune moments. 

 And I pray for forgiveness when I have been guilty of the same. 

So remember you are a Farmer Brown planting memories of how yu have acted and if there has been no self control ...and if it angry members inside the heads of family adn friends...yur harvest will be a crop no one will wamt to harvest.

Practice makes perfect.  Well, when it comes to patience…no one manages that.  But persistent consistent practice certainly helps…staying patient a minute longer and praying to get over any anger a minute sooner…

And oh yes back to that
Amish adult...are you even close...and how is the yelling factor in your family recently.
