Surviving in a Stressful World
--author unknown
When you have done all that you can to resolve a stressful
situation, you might choose to:
1. Give the other person time to run down. (Let them say what
they have to say.)
2. Be ready to be friendly. (Offer to work with them to reach
a solution.)
3. Surface the attack. (Ask them to stick to the issues and
skip the personal confrontation.) If that doesn't work...
4. Step on their face and beat them with a big rock.
