I Lost My Temper

I have been outstationed for the past two days. The first day, we had a meeting cum workshop at a hotel. The team accomplished what it had intended to do, so I guess it was good. The food was even better. Breakfast and lunch were exceptionally delicious. I must remember to organize the next meeting there. I wouldn't miss the food or the comfortable king-sized bed for the world.

However, the next day was extraordinarily challenging. We had to skip one immigration procedure because time was running out. Usually, it would be okay since the organization where I work has a reputable name in the country. But then, they were so hard on me yesterday, and kept questioning me about things that I could not answer so I had a verbal argument with the authorities! I think I was rather verbally abusive.

But then, the incident yesterday has proven to me that my biggest weakness is my inability to control my temper. And when I lose my temper like I did yesterday, I tend to be very nasty. I did say a lot of things that I wasn't supposed to say but I couldn't stop myself. I know I hurt that lady's feelings but at that point in time, I seem to forget who I was and why I was there. I seem to forget that Prophet Muhammad had said that we must not be angry!! Learn to control your temper!!! I think I should write her a letter to apologize for my misbehaviour.

How do I get over this biggest weakness of mine???????????????
