Have you ever been in fight? Most boys get into fights while growing up, and most of the time, there is no serious injury. But, a fight can get real serious when you get to be an adult, even when there are no weapons involved. Which brings us to two grumpy old man rules of life.
Rule #10, “Don’t fight if there is a way out.” It doesn’t matter who tries to start the fight, nor if you are in the right and the other person is wrong in every way. Apologize even if it is not your fault. Try to do whatever will please the other person to avoid a fight. Be in control and defuse the situation. If after all your efforts, there has to be a fight, then go to rule #11.
Don’t fight fair, fight to win.
