On serious note, I have very strong emotions. Being unable to manage them was extremely painful for me as a kid. I remember the exact moment I figured out how to get control of myself despite fear, anger, grief, etc. It was the most empowering thing that’s ever happened to me. https://twitter.com/un_women/status/1356566800943755266

In fact, I’ll submit that every single success I’ve had in life either professionally or personally has emotional self control as its foundation. Every failure traces back to a lapse in it. In my mid 50s it still remains a major source of comfort and confidence.

Last comment: no one in my life wants me to be more emotional. Not my colleagues, patients, employees, or children. My wife especially has zero desire to see me be more emotional or to cry. Like zero zero.
