The Iron box principle

 

When I was young.. we had an iron box at home, which was doing its work so perfectly.. that we were all afraid to handle it. We had to be very careful, to maintain its temperature to the absolute precision, to get our clothes done without burning it. You have to test it on a dummy cloth first, to find if the temperature is just adequate, switch off and then iron for half a minute.. then rewire it for the next half a minute step. If you iron with it, when you are not in your cool or when you are prone to misjudge.. you will certainly land up, looking through your clothes.

The intense protocols with the ironbox made us vary.. that we would resort back to our traditional method of folding pour dresses and putting them under our bed at times.

Years later.. Mom brought a automatic iron box. The operation mechanism was interesting. It had a set point for every kind of cloth. And amazingly.. it would just cut off itself, and turn to cooling itself, when the temperature exceeded.

Has your life been ever messed up, because your anger shot up incessantly in a moment? Have you ever thrown an unnecessary behavior at the heat of the moment? Has there been unwise decisions made in a wrath, that you regretted later?

If Yes.. you are a person needing the automatic iron box principle.

The simplicity stems from the fact that..

1)      It can handle a wide range of people..smart& not so smart.. Cool and tensed.. wise and foolish.

2)      It works on itself rather than demanding others to be perfect.

3)      People can be comfortable handling an automatic iron as the demands are less

4)      And ultimately.. it does not burn/ damage itself during the process.

Next time.. Set the auto cut off, beyond which you don’t become angry.. beyond which you don’t expect.. beyond which you don’t explain. But detatch yourself from what is happening around and  start cooling yourself.

And you will find that.. the situation returns to workable mode..And things are not that bad.
