Dealing with Emotions


We have four emotions in life: happiness, anger, sorrow, and fear. Based on these four emotions, they can be combined into many complex emotions. Different things or environments will cause people to have different emotions. For example, in an environment that has fresh air and is full of flowers, we will be happy and experience joy from the heart. On the contrary, if we were in a smelly and dirty environment, it would have a negative impact on us. Whether we are learning something new or in the course of our current career, emotions affect a person's progress.


For example, if you learn something new, you will encounter many obstacles. You will likely encounter many difficulties in the beginning. At this time, your emotions determine whether you can stick to it. There is also the development of a career. I believe everyone has heard a lot of news like this. Sometimes people may have a successful career, but due to depression or emotional problems, chooses to end their career or even their life.


I know of someone who is a very talented and promising individual, but because he has no way to control his emotions, he is often angry and stressed. It has even affected his normal life.

For the elderly, they choose to do something that they enjoy to distract them and forget about the things that made them feel negative.


For me, I think the way we can fight with negative emotions is to stop complaining. Complaining will not make you better, will not make others fairer to you, or change your life. Also, we should stay away from people who have negative energy. Stay away from those who habitually complain and spread negative energy every day. If you stay around these types of people, over time you will find that you’ve become as negative as them.


The last lesson is to learn how to get along with ourselves. We are better than we think, so don’t let others' negative comments influence our emotions. Something may not meet our expectations, but it doesn’t mean that we failed. We can’t change the result for the things that happened in the past, so just let it go and focus on the thing that is happening right now. Don't suppress negative emotions. Instead, try to
