Thank you very much dear friends of steemit, for being present in my blog and accompanying with the reading of my post. Months ago make a post giving to know as I met my beloved dog Tony, a beautiful copy of Dogo Argentino.


The story begins in the year 1973 to my five years of age. Everything happened living in my grandparents' house, a beautiful house located in the popular Barrio Bañado Norte, from childhood I was always my mother's companion, helping with household chores, my job was to go out doing the daily shopping, while my mother Towards the beds and cleaned our rooms.


Dona Pancha, the name of the owner of the general store, was like an aunt to me, her store was two houses away from us, so my mother allowed me to make purchases, mama gave the money and a note with the requirements, was fully confident in the good work of Aunt Pancha.


One morning when shopping, I see a stray, dirty, very mistreated puppy arrive, looking with tears and sad eyes, this caused me a lot of shock, without hesitation I take it between my hands and take it home.


When they arrived with the stinking dog, everyone was frightened, my grandmother refused to receive a dog like that, my mother did not express opinion about living in a foreign house, the one who took over the situation was my grandfather Mosqueda. My grandfather felt adoration for me, he would do anything to see me happy.


!All right, come in and get him inside! Before we go to take a good bath and we take it to the vet, with that condition if, otherwise the dog is leaving at this very moment. The grandfather said


He helped me to bathe it, with the water of the bath we baptized him with the name of Tony, after much water and soap appeared a beautiful white with cotton, his face changed completely, he looked happy, his mood was much better, he moved his tail incessantly in joy, a ball of white hairs, after the bath was no longer a stinking dog.


To keep calm that the animal was well and healthy we took it to the veterinarian, the professional did a good job, applied all the vaccines and the deworming, even made the notebook Pedrigee, this is like a national identity document for dogs.


The dog remained unrecognizable, the news of the improvement came to the owner's ears, he showed up at my grandfather's house and I claim his dog, seeing him I could not recognize him, he was clean, well fed and very affectionate, in reasons to see that the dog was much better than before, Insistent and threatening rebuked my grandfather.


My grandfather as always was calm, he was an extraordinary being in these matters, as he always said, to discuss was not conducive to anything, if you wanted to get favored in a change of opinion you should never raise your voice. Finally my grandfather's calm and some legal issues, made the puppy stay at home.


The interesting thing about this story was the handling of situations that my grandfather had, I never saw him discuss or raise his voice, he handled everything with incredible naturalness, a person who helped people a lot, did not allow anyone to abuse a neighbor, he was always willing to defend the rights of the other, yet I never raise my voice.


It was incredible to see him deal with people, on more than one occasion, in his office people have come requesting his mediation, people shouted and came out smiling and holding hands as if they had been friends for a lifetime.


One afternoon when we were quiet, ask how he did not react when a person lacked respect through insults. He smiled, said that that is achieved over the years, experience is something that gives you life.


!You have much to learn!


After saying these words, I take two silletas, invite them to sit down, began to tell a story.


Navigating the web, I cross with the story of the grandfather, a little different to how I had heard, to begin reading immediately I bring my memory to the situation I have related.


This story is inspired "There are gifts that do not agree to receive" a situation that a teacher and his student have to live, as every teenager has a negative reaction with his teacher, the experience of the professional will make the young person come to reason, learning a good lesson, a beautiful story that begins this way.


A long time ago in an old village there was a small establishment, with hundreds of students attending daily, a rural school in the middle of nowhere, but with an incredible image, the image of the establishment was achieved thanks to the dedication of the teachers.


The school had good professionals dedicated to the teaching of children, of all of them stood out a "teacher", a very dedicated person of great trajectory, an incredible being of a passible, equitable and strict character with the learning of the children.


The school year was ending, on the last day of class and after the culmination party, said "teacher" was limited to make the last corrections of the year, one of the young teenager approached the teacher's desk, with a very hostile tone He said.


- "Teacher, what I am happy to have finished the class is that I will not have to listen to their nonsense anymore and I will be able to rest from seeing that boring face."


The young man stood in front of the teacher with a provocative and defiant look, waiting for the professional's reaction. The experience of the "teacher" izo kept calm. As if nothing had happened, I ask.


- ¿"When someone offers you something you do not want, you receive it"?


The young man could not believe the master's control of his impulses, the professional's question had baffled him, yet he answered.


¿How do you think I can accept something I do not want? Said the young man in a loud voice in a menacing tone.


Well, said the "professor, "when someone tries to offend me or says something unpleasant to me, he is offering me something, in this case an emotion of rage and resentment, which I may decide not to accept.


The young student scratched his head in disbelief.


You do not understand anything I say, ¿do you?" Okay, I'll explain. The teacher said


"Very simple," replied the professor, "you are offering me rage and contempt, and if I feel offended or angry, I will be accepting your gift, and I, my friend, really prefer to give myself my own serenity, boy." teacher in a gentle tone, "your anger will pass, but do not try to leave it with me, because I'm not interested, I can not control what you carry in your heart but me depends on what I charge in mine."


"You can choose what emotions or feelings you want to put in your heart and what you choose you will have until you decide to change it."

That afternoon my grandfather taught me, a discussion is caused by some disagreement, the person who thinks he is right, not finding it, is angry, it is very common to say nonsense, the only reason you lose stability and leave to reason efficiently, an angry person will say things to annoy you, many of them will not be true, he is in voice to listen to them and to believe them.


Humans have the ability to think and make a decision, it is up to us to engage in a discussion or not, disgust or happiness will depend on our actions. Remember.


!"Being happy is a choice"!

Being happy is having a control on desires. Therefore having no disappointments.

I do not accept any gift that I don't want, especially anger, and violence. It is so much easier to be calm and centered about these confrontations or accusations when you have your own sense of balance.

Great post. Thank you.

wise decision dear friend @ dswigle, nothing better than being away from violence.
Thank you so much for your time to read my work and this beautiful comment.
