when I was a young man my mother use to tell me that I should form the habit of taking a deep breath and not jumping into an argument until I am clam. That advise has really mad a difference for me. That habit of taking a deep breath has kept my mouth shut and I suspect me out of a lot of trouble.

I think it is the creating of habit's right ones that is that keep us out of a lot of trouble.

P.s I really wasn't against what you where saying, just wanted to get my two cents in. LOL It was a nice post.
