negative integer negative( 三 )

A sure sign you've figured out the true cause of your anger is the moment when you feel the anger suddenly subside. In the above example, if I'd left my soul searching at the point where I was still angry at not being appreciated by my co-workers, I wouldn't have been able to discover the real issue. I would have still been very frustrated and angry at the external situation. Annoyed with my co-workers when they were only a symptom, not the true cause. As soon as I understood what was really happening, all the anger disappeared. I also knew I needed to make changes and from understanding why I was mad I had a better idea of what I needed to do. My anger truly was a great gift for me.
当你感到愤怒突然平息的那一刻，你就已经找到了愤怒的真正原因。在上面的例子中，如果我一直在为没有得到同事的赏识而生气，那么我就无法发现真正的问题所在。我仍然会对外部情况感到非常沮丧和愤怒。我对同事的不满只是个表象，而不是真正的原因。我一弄明白到底发生了什么，所有的愤怒就都消失了。我也知道我需要做出改变，并且通过理解我为什么会生气，我更清楚我需要做什么。我的愤怒对我来说真的是一份伟大的礼物。
Until you figure out the real reason, the emotion will remain. It will be like when you have a thorn in your thumb. You may think you have it out but when you feel a prick every once in a while, you know it's still there. It's not out until you deal with it. A sure sign that you haven't dealt with the real reason is that you find that you get irritated very easily with everyone and everything. It will seem like everyone is just out to wreck your day.
直到你找到真正的原因为止，这种情绪会一直存在。这就好像你的拇指扎了一根刺儿。你可能认为你已经把它拔出来了，但当你偶尔感到刺痛时，你知道它还在那里。你不处理它，它就在那里。你发现自己很容易对每个人、每件事生气，这就是一个明确的信号，表明你没有解决真正的原因。看起来好像每个人都想破坏你的生活。
It's Worth the Effort
努力是值得的
When you're absolutely furious at something or someone, it can be hard to get yourself to start thinking about why it bothers you so much. The more you do it, the easier it gets though. And you feel a lot better afterwards because you have used it for personal self-growth rather than letting it destructive side hurt you. You are able to move forward with your life because you have resolved the issue instead of just stuffing it down inside. If you deny your true feelings, episodes of anger are going to occur again and again until you deal with it.
当你对某件事或某个人非常生气时，很难让自己开始思考为什么它会如此困扰你。可是你越思考，它就越容易解决。之后你就会感觉好多了，因为你用它来实现自我成长，而不是让它的破坏性伤害你。你能够继续你的生活，因为你已经解决了问题，而不是把它埋藏在心里。如果你否认你的真实感受，愤怒就会一次又一次地出现，直到你处理好为止。
Anger is also a negative emotion which takes a huge amount of energy. You may also find that your immune system is reduced if you're holding on to a lot of anger. Use your energy for positive things and learn from your anger. Think of it as a gift you're being given to learn about yourself and how to get the life you really want.
愤怒也是一种消耗大量能量的负面情绪。你可能还会发现，如果你一直耿耿于怀，你的免疫系统就会减弱。把精力用在积极的事情上，并从愤怒中学习。把它当成一份礼物，一份让你了解自己、学会如何过上理想生活的礼物。
You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
生活教会你，你唯一能真正改正和改变的人就是你自己。
