Join 📚 Swapnil's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
It’s not that you mustn’t get angry, but that there is no need to rely on the tool of anger. Irascible people do not have short tempers—it is only that they do not know that there are effective communication tools other than anger. That is why people end up saying things like “I just snapped” or, “He flew into a rage.” We end up relying on anger to communicate.

No one likes a braggart.
If you’re religious, perhaps you know Proverbs 27:2: “Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth.”
Or Leonardo da Vinci: “He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.”
Or Mark Twain: “Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid.”
One of my favorites is by humorist Evan Esar: “The only way to cure an egotist from bragging is by surgery — amputation at the neck.”
