The prompt "manage your anger" brings to mind a period as a young adult when I didn't have total control over my emotions. Always a headstrong child and teen, I knew what I wanted and what direction I wanted my life to take. Decisions in those directions didn't always work out, so my parents were hard pressed to give me advice, especially my mother who talked in parables about the outcome of certain decisions. I hated those parables. Just give me plain English and straight talk.
I finally learned to control my temper and think things through rationally. But the main focus I needed to address was listening to others' point of view. Once I recognized this needed changing in myself, I could see how other people's reasoning was just as valid as mine.
I share a flash fiction story told in exactly 50 words. The format was created by @felt.buzz.
For my theme, I was inspired by and utilized the @daily.prompt's publishing of 22 May 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2380: manage your anger.
Below is my story:
Recently, the situation escalated. The finale came on the heels of a company posting as Roland stormed from the workplace.
Co-workers continued their duties. But they understood the issue. Management can't continue to demote highly qualified workers and expect to receive loyalty.
"Manage you anger" was not an appropriate response.

La frase «controla tu ira» me trae a la memoria un periodo de mi juventud en el que no tenía un control total sobre mis emociones. Siempre fui una niña y una adolescente testaruda, pero sabía lo que quería y la dirección que quería que tomara mi vida. Las decisiones que tomaba en esa dirección no siempre funcionaban, así que a mis padres les costaba darme consejos, sobre todo a mi madre, que hablaba en parábolas sobre el resultado de ciertas decisiones. Odiaba esas parábolas. Díganme las cosas claras y sin rodeos.
Finalmente aprendí a controlar mi temperamento y a pensar las cosas racionalmente. Pero lo que más me preocupaba era escuchar el punto de vista de los demás. Una vez que reconocí que esto tenía que cambiar en mí, pude ver que los razonamientos de los demás eran tan válidos como los míos.
Para mi tema, me inspiré y utilicé la publicación de @daily.prompt de 22 May 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2380: manage your anger.
A continuación mi historia.
Por el bien de la empresa
Recientemente, la situación se agravó. El final se produjo a raíz de un anuncio de la empresa en el que Roland abandonaba furioso el lugar de trabajo.
Los compañeros continuaron con sus tareas. Pero comprendieron el problema. La dirección no puede seguir degradando a trabajadores altamente cualificados y esperar recibir lealtad.
«Controla tu ira» no era una respuesta adecuada.

A very interesting story is also the fact that when we grow up as a child, we don't have control over our motions.
Yes, @djbravo. We must have control over our emotions in order to have healthy relationships in our personal and professional lives. Thanks so much for your visit. I appreciate it.
A delightful read and I do understand your need as a teen to learn to listen to people's opinions and to learn to compromise too.
But then there's the opposite part that I faced for a long time and frankly, still perfecting the art of coming out of it. It's managing your emotions and being so quiet that everyone feels it's okay to walk all over you.
Wow, how true. That was me with the need to learn to manager my emotions AFTER I came out of my shell of being walked all over for years. A total opposite in my case in which I needed to find a balance and calm myself. It took me a while, but I finally did it. I didn't want my actions to project onto my children so that they believed it was OK to say and do whatever without consequences.
Thanks so much for your visit and awesome engagement with my story. I appreciate it. Take care.
