If you think you're immune to anger, you're kidding yourself.
Watch a 2-year-old fighting furiously over a toy, or a toddler
screaming in his stroller, and you'll be reminded that the human
capacity for anger is as much a part of us as is our ability to laugh
at dumb jokes.
We're often angry - at ourselves, at our mates and at our
circumstance. Learning to manage your anger - to control it and even
use it to your advantage - will allow you to become what I call an
"anger athlete," a person who manages anger well and doesn't suffer
from its consequences. Anger, like lightning, can either destroy you
or become a source of incredible energy that can charge up your life.
