Assertiveness

In our wananga time, we have have been begininng to learn more about people, morality and sociallity.  For this we have begun to accomplish activities that would realte into this topic. In which now, is about what and how we can control our emotions. For this we look back at the times where we did something that we regretted as it was aggressive or was out of anger. The memories flooded in and I chose an instance in which I could've "performed" better if wit was used. A line I thought about after the event was "Not if I see you first!"; pretty much the story can be summarized with that phrase.  We then further discussed after the activity about the other things that can be done when in situations where a person is being unpeasant to us.  Deeds such as smiling, walking away, ignoring, deep breaths, stopping and thinking would make it in a better situation. However, personally I would much rather come up with a witty comeback, sarcasm and or smilling rather than ignoring.
