The best
advice I ever received was from my grandfather. It was something I already
tended to follow, but he was able to put it into words that I could live by. He
said, “Don’t get mad at something out of your power.” What he meant was that if
something upsets you don’t sit there and complain, deal with it and work around
it. Here are some examples of where I’ve found this useful.
1. When your immature bandmates start yelling at you for playing in your cool new funk band and not playing with them anymore. While some would become furious at their profanities, the smart choice would be to act cool and ignore them. They’ll be on their knees in no time.
2. When a teacher assigns you a really long essay to read and gives you one day to do it. Don’t text the group me about how much you hate the teacher, that only wastes time. Get straight to work and get it out of the way. You’ll get a break soon.
