Self-control is important to have. Acting hastily or with a quick temper will only lead to foolishness and lack of understanding. It is better to be slow to anger and control your emotions. When conflicts arise, try to live peacefully with others as much as possible. Ask forgiveness if needed. Lack of self-control will cause you to waste valuable resources, while having self-control allows you to make wise use of what you have been given.
