Be nice... esp to close ones...

“The deep root of failure in our lives is to think, ‘Oh how useless and powerless I am.’ It is essential to think strongly and forcefully, ‘I can do it,’ without boasting or fretting.”
-- Dalai Lama


I was very short tempered in the restaurant for our dinner. It was crowded and we got a small table for 2. To my surprise , the food came pretty fast soon after we sat down. We were having some rather issues, and soon the table was already quite filled up by glasses of water, main plate and soup already there wasnt really much space left. At this point the waiter came with our final side dish and asked us to clear the table for the dish. I immediately snapped back with "No, you clear a space on the table!" ( since there were really not much space already, i was furious that the waiter did not take initative to find another table or replace with smaller utensils...)

Anyway, it came out of my mouth almost instantiously, and my friend was taken aback and asked why am I so fierce. I kept quiet. I am not sure what is the real cause of my short temper either...

We went to the park again and played with the swings again, met the same old man with his 4 golden retriever and also enjoyed a relaxing chat at the cosy cafe in the park too. We were also very naughty while walking out of the park to go home... It was fun...

I need to watch my attitude and moods again before I slip back into the undesirable habits again.
