Putting this quality into practice
Cameron sees the argumentative message arrive during dinner. The old habit is to answer before the food gets cold. Tonight Cameron types a response, saves it and returns to the table.

It is refusing to let someone else’s urgency choose the temperature of Cameron’s response.
