There are quite a few things that provoke a reaction from me. It is not just because i'm a lawyer. For me, having an opinion about things comes naturally. Though i am careful not te be prejudiced against things and people, i do not know enough about to have a informed opinion.
Yet i can't seem to shut up at times. For a generous period i shoved it away as a trait that was just an excess of good intentions. I believed that being passionate was a blessing and a curse that i was born with.
I got to a point where i did not care if i practically exploded on a particular subject if the reason was my passion for it . No matter what they did, that passion was not going away, so i thought i might as well express it. I used being passionate as an excuse not to stay calm.
I know now that my strength, courage and endurance is much better on display when i do stay calm. Getting angry does not help in such situations. It is not impressive or though, it is a mistake. I would go so far as calling it a weakness.
I rationalised my behaviour, and thought i could be excused because it was my passion speaking. It is ironic, exactly that was the mistake i made, over and over again. I was controlled by my passion and failed to stay in control of them.
