    Meilleure citation de Mastering Composure Without Losing Your Humanity

    “

    The goal isn't to kill your emotions, but to kill the power that external events have over you. It’s about being the architect of your own emotional house—deciding which rooms are open to the public and which remain private, while still being healthy enough to live in all of them.
