and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.

can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity,

thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
