Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2410 Promotion and Character

Interaction with Failures

Part-9

Mr. Anger: What makes you angry?

John: Criticism, others anger and not delivering results 

Mr. Anger: Let’s go one by one, have you criticised others

John: Yes

Mr. Anger: Why did you do that, when you don’t like to be criticised?

John: It is because of the mistakes they commit

Mr. Anger: Are you supposed to give feedback or are you supposed to criticise

John: I am confused whether I gave a feedback or did I criticise

Mr. Anger: we might think we are giving feedback but they can feel they are criticised

John: So, you mean to tell that I was given feedback but I perceived it as criticism

Mr. Anger: May be, tell me who are the people who criticised you?

John: My partner, my wife and few others

Mr. Anger:  How is the relationship with them?

John: My partner has left the business, me and my wife are not in good terms

Mr. Anger: Have they appreciated you?

Mr. John: Yes, they have done it

Mr. Anger: Have they helped you?

John: Yes, many times

Mr. Anger: Mr. John, in every relationship there are both good and bad interactions. If you show your anger for being criticised or for finding fault, tomorrow you will not have people around you to neither appreciate you nor correct you.

Remember if you see criticism as an opportunity you will introspect

John: I do understand, but during that situation, I just lose my control

Mr. Anger: It is natural to lose your control, but it is human not to forget the other person who has been good to you.

When you think about their goodness for few seconds your attitude towards criticism changes and your emotions are in control.

John: Now I realise, A long standing relationship breaks with quick emotions

Mr. Anger: You are right Mr. John, remember people who care are the people who find fault

John thinks deeply on what Mr. Anger said and asks how do I come out of anger?

Mr. Anger:  Anger is an emotion which is a part of our life. You cannot eradicate anger but remember this quote

John: Aristotle, tells it is not easy, then how can I handle my anger?

Mr. Anger: Aristotle never told it is not possible. John, when you started your business, did you think it was impossible to build a 100-crore empire?

John: Though 100 crores was not there in the mind when we started but we were confident that we will grow

Mr. Anger: With confidence we build business, with the same confidence we can build our character

If you want to get rid of your anger, you need to get rid of hate and guilt. John, call your partner and speak to him after that call your wife and speak to her.

John hesitates but takes his mobile and goes out. After sometime he comes inside and Mr. Anger enquires about the call

John pours some water in the glass
