Don't Be Impulsive

Don't take actions just because you feel like it. Always learn to think first. As a human, you're not like other animals that live life instinctively. Other animals don't calculate the long term consequences of their actions, because they don't have a sophisticated brain for it. But you do.

Many people act, and then they think later. This is what leads to the worst kinds of mistakes and results in your life, when you just do things because you had the impulse to do it. This also applies to your use of words. Many times, people say the worst things, because they were angry at the moment.

But like you probably know, once you've done certain things in this world, it's very hard to undo it. If not completely impossible to undo it. Especially words hurt the most, so you have to make sure that you don't say things impulsively. Remember, when you say it out, you can never take it back.

Thus, when words come out of your mouth, they should be very well calculated. Otherwise, they may have the effect you don't want. You need to transform yourself into a person who always considers the long term effect of actions, before taking them in the present.
