Get rid of your temper

A young political candidate went to see his senior asking for advice. He asked: "Sir, may I know about your experience in winning the election? What are the tips?" The senior member then said: "I can tell you, but you've to promise that every time you interrupt me you have to pay $5." The youngster then replied, "Ok. I agree."

The senior then said: "Very good. What I want to say is that every time you hear people criticize or talk behind you, you must not get mad. This is my first experience. But honestly, I don't really agree that people like you can win the election...", the youngster then panicked and interrupted: "Sir, how can you...". The senior then said: "Please pay $5". Then the youngster felt relieved: "Oh! This is just a test, right?"

The senior replied: "Oh, yes. It's a test. But really, it's actually my personal opinion...". The youngster started to get panic again and said: "But sir! Why do you said so...". "Please pay $5" replied the senior.

"Ah!" the youngster started to feel angry and said: "It's just a test! And I have let you earn $5 too easily!".

The senior then looked at the youngster said: "Yes, it is easy! Why don't you pay first then we continue? Because everyone know that you are a slacker and won't keep your promise..."

The youngster started to shout: "You b*$t**d!"

"Please pay $5"

"Ah! Again it's a test! I better control my emotion!" answered the youngster.

Then he finally managed to calm himself and settled. Finally, the senior said: "You need to remember that every time you get angry or mad because of someone talks badly about yourself, you might lose a vote. For you, one vote is more valuable than money."
