Success Secrets

• Express your emotions calmly and with reason.
Coping With Anger
• You can’t control every situation that causes you to feel
angry.
• Be careful: Anger is a trigger for your body that releases
adrenaline ( 腎上腺素 ) and cortisol ( 皮質醇 ), which working
together weaken your immune system. Every time you
get angry it hurts your health.
Examples:
• Deal with minor irritations before they become anger-triggering
• situations.
• Ask for help when you need it.
• Say “no” to unreasonable requests.
• Speak up if you are not being treated the way you want to be treated.
• Be open to positive, constructive criticism and suggestions.
• Use calm body language and maintain good eye contact.
• Practice active listening: showing a desire to listen, being attentive to the
other person’s words and body language.
Success Secret
• Change what you can and accept what you can’t.
