Am I too soft?

Some time people accuse me that I am too soft. I don't know how far it is correct. But its true that many time I choose to ignore things. One of the recent examples I can think of is when my driving instructor was not regular.

I joined car driving class (now it’s complete) few months back. But it happened that instruct just bunked few classes without informing me. On calling he informed that it was raining or vehicle was out of order etc. One of my friends had similar problem and he informed me that once he scolded him, he become punctual. So I though I should also try the same approach and left office to see the guy (driving instructor office is in my way to home). But on the way I was thinking am I going to do the right thing? My friend used wait for his instructor and not doing any thing useful while waiting. So for him it was waste of time and hence made sense for him to argue with instructor. But is this the case with me? No. I am reading while waiting for him to arrive. So I am not wasting any time. In fact I have finished half of the book by reading during those periods. But still he had made a mistake by not coming every day. So I must go and talk to him. But hold on. I got another thought. If I argue with him, I will definitely be not in best of my mood. I must be upset during that period. And in fact, some time before and for some time after also. So is it worth spending so much of my physical and emotional energy on it. I came to conclusion that its does not make sense for me to go and argue with him. Instead use the same energy (both physical and emotional) in doing something more positive, something which gives happiness than sorrow. So I just past away his office without talking to him.

I don't know whether it was right decision but one thing I am sure I saved my happiness for those moments.
