The sound of one hand clapping

A good advice in the corporate world is to be aware of your mood swings; especially for those who are exposed to public eye. Having control over your mood is vital for business.
It’s bad for one to work into the office in a bad mood because of family problems for instance.

There you are in the office upset as your wife did not allow you prove your point. Your colleagues can sense your mood as you approach them with indifference. Your scheduled presentation for the day is up, you present with total lack of concern to the topic and your audience; your colleagues and managers senses anger in your presentation, hence, you only get sound of one hand clapping at the end of your presentation.

Was I that bad? You ask yourself while leaving the room all depressed forgetting that your mood had to do with the one hand clapping that you received. Colleagues don’t need to see you moody; issues that have nothing to do with work should be kept out of the office as there are not responsible for your frustrations aside form the office.
