Don't act in anger or frustration

Acting while in a state of frustration or anger leads to dangerous mistakes; Jonas demonstrated this by recounting how, frustrated after cutting his boot, he swung an axe one-handed at a tree in anger and it deflected into his razor-sharp blade into his own knee, immobilizing him in the wilderness for days.

Evidence Quote

I was mad enough that I just grabbed the axe, and swung it at the tree... deflected off and bam, right into my knee.
