I definitely have found there is usually an easier path if you give in and be nice first. @NunoXEI Love the quote...it definitely got me thinking :) There's another quote from Jiu Jitsu that might help on days we feel like the fool. When training.... 'Some days your the hammer, and some days your the nail.' @Amanda

I've always wanted to be "the wiseman" and sometimes I am... but there's nothing more exhilarating and rewarding then just embarrassing the actions of "a fool".

The example with the iPhone really goes a long way in showing that you don't have to fight with everyone and everything in order to get good results. Thanks!

Like Bruce Lee said 'Be like water.' @Amber

It's definitely a challenge sometimes, but is always worth putting on a smile and not letting situations negatively effect you internally. Because life is always changing those who are flexible and adaptable fare the best. Thanks for the reminder! I go with the flow as well.

I think that is the most important part to understand. Sometimes a battle that seems do or die one day, can seem like no big deal the next. It is in the heat of the moment, that we get all wrapped up and heap a load of unnecessary stress on our shoulders. Thanks! @Eric

I definitely find that it's when I try to fight the situation that I not only get stressed out, but end up losing a battle that probably didn't need to be a 'battle' to begin with. Thanks for the reminder to stay calm, go with the flow, and pull right out of that arm bar! :-) Eric. Hey Peter, great analogies and solid content!
