“When anger rises, think of the consequences.”
— Confucius

Simplified Meaning:
When you start to feel really mad, it's important to stop and think about what might happen if you act on that anger. Imagine you're at work and a colleague makes a mistake that affects your project. You're furious and feel like yelling at them. If you do, it might cause a big fight, hurt their feelings, and make working together hard in the future. But if you take a moment to calm down and consider the results of your actions, you might choose to talk to them calmly instead. This way, you can solve the problem without making things worse. So, before reacting in anger, think about the potential bad outcomes and how it might affect your relationships and your future.
