For example, as training course students he used to tell us that if we were waiting for a bus and it was a long time coming, or if we were caught in a traffic jam there was no point in getting upset about it. He would say: “Don’t get angry, give your orders [directions] instead. In that way, you can begin to extend the Technique to your emotional reactions.”
