Anger is a powerful and harmful emotion that everyone experiences. How one deals with that anger dictates their outcome. You can take control of your anger and be more productive then it and not let your emotions decide your actions. You are the only one who can control your emotions and decide how to handle your anger.
Key Takeaways:
