A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted. (Proverbs 12:16 NLT)
You are not defined by what someone else says or does to you. You are defined by how you respond to those unpleasant and unsettling things. Once you "lose your cool" you may win the battle, but you might also lose the war. Being "quick-tempered" isn't a virtue, it's a vice that has to be mastered. It's the "wise" that stay "calm" when the insults are flying!
