We're reviewing some tips for being a gentleman. Tip #1 is to keep your emotions in check. Remain calm and do not lose your cool. By losing your temper, you are demonstrating that you cannot control yourself and your emotions. Have you ever seen James Bond “lose it” or “go ballistic”? No. That is not his style. “007” keeps his emotions in check and continues to present a suave and sophisticated demeanor, no matter what circumstances he finds himself. I know, he is a fictional character – in a movie. And this is real life. But if you are predominately known as being someone who remains calm, instead of flying off the handle, you will gain the respect of those around you.
Also, if you generally don't raise your voice and lose your temper, it will give you much more credibility during those (rare) circumstances when it is appropriate for you to be angry.
It is essential to maintain control of yourself in professional settings, in social circles and definitely in relationships. Trust me on this guys – this is coming from someone who took far too long to learn this – losing your cool is simply not acceptable. It makes you look bad.
Stay in touch -
