Serena Williams and Kayne West have a thing to two to learn about being graceful in the face of disagreement or disappointment.  Their outbursts over the weekend — hers at the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament and his at the MTV Music Video Awards — will live on forever as examples of what NOT to do.  Their tirades will perhaps overshadow whatever they may have accomplished in their careers to date, thanks to the far-reaching impact of YouTube and all the other media that have pounced on their stories.

When in doubt — whether the cameras or rolling or not — take a breath and pause before you say or do something you may regret later.
