Some people are extremely dangerous.
They can get very angry to the point of wanting to kill you, yet they can still put on a smiling face.
They act as if they do not get insulted, and they agree with your decision even when they are at a disadvantage.
They can still talk in a soft and gentle voice, and put on a spot of disappointment into the voice. They do not get angry outwardly. Their smiles seem genuine.
Most of us do not have such self-control over our emotions.
We tend to let our temper gets over the control of our tongue.
We tend to say things that we will regret later.
That is why we should learn to control our tongue, and at the same time, stay away from those dangerous people.

There are two things I learned a long time ago. Firstly when angry the best thing you can do is hum because humming induces a smile and the smile changes your mood. Secondly if you desire to make a retort in an angry situation bite your tongue and count to ten, it can help you not be so stupid. It doesn't always work but many time I have sropped myself appearing like a fool.

Wow, that is really something that you cannot learn from books!
This is part of education that comes from the university of life!
I think many married men have such lessons!
They learn that they better let their wives have the last say, else the quarrel never ends, and they will not have dinner!

Oh yes smile in your face and stab you in the back. Sometimes it takes a while to recognize people like that and when I do I stay far far away from them.

@scheng1 Yes they will if it's their nature. And it usually is.

I always try to stay calm and smile even though I am already upset or angry, I don't think others should suffer from my own emotion, and I'd still like to keep the harmonious situation. Of course, I don't think I am a dangerous person, and I know others can tell I am already not happy, as I'd be quieter when I am upset. If I really can't control myself, I'd excuse myself for awhile, then come back later.

@scheng1 I can understand the danger of these people, though I will never understand why they'd do that. I think I was lucky that I have not met such people in my career life before. Perhaps I didn't stay in the career world for long enough, or the environment I was in are always more friendly and not competitive. Teamwork was more important for us. I had good bosses or smart bosses as well.

I am not scared of such persons.
Once they cool down, they are all right again.
The dangerous ones are those who still smile at you, and pretend that nothing happens.
They will keep the anger in their hearts for a long time, and will take revenge for years to come.

There's a wise Chinese adage which I find quite relevant to your post here where it says that when one brings anger to a duel, one would be deemed to have already lost.
Anger is not only detrimental to those surrounding us but to our very selves as well.

You need to perfect your fake smile for the coming interview!
I think you have to improve on your acting skill.
You have to appear very enthusiastic for the position, and you have to lie and say that you will work very hard, and you will learn well.
