"生气的时候数到四,非常生气的时候骂人。"

Mark Twain

Simplified Meaning:

When you're just a little angry, it's a good idea to take a moment to calm down before you react. Counting to four gives you a brief pause to collect your thoughts and control your feelings so you don't say or do something you'll regret. Think of it like taking a deep breath to stay calm. On the other hand, if you're very angry, sometimes it helps to release your frustration by swearing. This can be a way to let off steam, so you don't keep all that anger inside. It's like when you stub your toe really hard, and yelling a bad word makes you feel a tiny bit better. In both cases, the goal is to manage your anger in a way that helps you stay in control. If you can remember these actions, you can handle anger moments more effectively and avoid making situations worse.
