Everyone would have heard the famous phrase "Anger is one short of Danger" .It is an age-old adage,but it is time tested and still holds true.Things said or done during anger have created havoc with a lot of people and things.The tightly packed bag of mental frustration erupts i nto a volcano of anger.

But basically let's try to analyze why one gets angry?When one is not satisfied with the way things have gone,when someone has been taken in for a ride,when one blames life for treating him very badly,and man y such trivial things are the various reasons.All the frustrations get collected on one part of our mind and when we can bear it no longer,our feelings are vented in the form of a volcano of emotional tantrums.Ange r is one of the major hindrances in self-development,because it narrows our outlook.The mind looses its sense of logic and fairness,when it is accelerated by the arrogant mood of anger.

Anger is never good and it increases anxiety levels of the individua l.When one is angry,the heart pumps a lot more blood than the normal c apacity and hence it leads to high blood pressure.This may also cause a heart attack.So always be like the hard working duck,which is calm and composed by its expressions,but paddling like hell at the bottom (to ke ep itself moving).For human beings this means that,we have to keep mov ing in life by hard work.Never let disappointment and frustrations rule you.You make your own future and destiny,by following the right attitu de.

After all,it's all in a state of mind.Everyone has two options.O ne is anger and the other is maintaining your composure through patience.I chose the latter one.What have you chosen?

幾乎每個人都聽過這句有名的諺語:憤怒距危險僅一步之遙。這是一句古老的格言,它經受住了時間的考驗,是正確的論斷。憤怒時的言行會對許多人和事造成傷害。那種壓抑在心頭的怒火遲早會如火山般噴發而出。

讓我們從基本的角度嚐試著予以分析,為什麽人會發怒呢?也許是對事情的進展或境況不滿意,也許是不願被帶去騎馬,或是埋怨生活對他的殘忍,等等。這些繁雜的瑣事就是引發憤怒的原因。當氣餒與失敗累積到一定程度,忍無可忍時,我們的感情就會如同火山一樣噴發出來。憤怒是自我發展的一大障礙,它會使我們的視野狹隘。當心靈充斥著憤怒和傲慢的情緒時,便沒有邏輯性和公正性可言。

憤怒可以達到某種目的,但並不適合所有情況。其原因是,隨著年齡的增長,你有責任去調整自己的情緒,抑製挫敗感。沒有人有那種遠見和能力,能判斷出擾亂你心緒的因素,或是你被困境煩憂的原因所在。經常發怒的人難成大事,而懂得這個道理的人則容易獲得成功。

憤怒有百害而無一利,且會增添個人的憂慮。一個人憤怒時,心髒泵出的血比平常要多,且容易導致高血壓,還可能導致心髒病。所以,你要像勤勞不輟的鴨子那樣,冷靜而沉著,而且還要拚命地劃水,好像自己陷於地獄深處。這對人來說,就是要始終努力工作改變生活。永遠也不要讓失望和沮喪左右你的情緒。你可以用正確的態度,來決定自己的命運和未來。

總之,這一切都由你的心境決定。每個人都麵臨兩個選擇:一個是憤怒,另一個是耐心地保持冷靜。我選擇後者,你呢?
