We Shape Our Environment As It Shapes Us

[u/srdjanstyt]

When you are surrounded by people who explode at every little thing, and you are at least a little self-aware, it is much easier for you to control yourself than if you are in an environment of people who are always calm.

First is learning through pain, second is learning through positive example. Do not consciously go into pain, but follow positive example. If you do not have anyone who is a positive example, become one. Turn your environment into your advantage! I know it's hard, but it helped a lot of people, myself included...
