Unit 6 Anger Management 愤怒管理

I thought I was a calm and collected person until one day at the office when my anger got the best of me. I was in a meeting and I felt like I wasn't being listened to. I felt that my ideas were being put down and people were interrupting me. I couldn't take it and I shouted, “Listen to me!”
我以前以为我是个冷静的人直到有天在办公室我才知道原来我也有控制不住脾气的时候。当时在开会我觉得别人都没在听我讲话，我的意见被批评，说话也被打断，我忍不住地大喊：“听我说话！”

My sudden outburst made the room go very quiet and I felt embarrassed. I definitely didn't handle my emotions very well! Not long after the incident, a colleague of mine came to my rescue. She took me for lunch and gave me a book to read.
突然的发飙让办公室瞬间鸦雀无声，而我觉得很尴尬，我显然没有好好控制情绪！这件事发生没多久，一位同事成了我的救星，她找我去吃午餐，并给了我一本书阅读，这是一本有关了解情绪的书。

It was a book about recognizing your feelings so you can understand them and not let them control you. It gave me lessons to follow and some great advice. I feel I have come a long way. The other day my supervisor pulled me into her office and told me she recognized an improvement in my attitude. It felt great to hear this and gave me the encouragement I needed to continue working on myself.
一旦了解后就不会被情绪所控制，它给了我许多值得遵守的训诫以及一些很棒的忠告，我觉得自己大有进步。有一天，我的上司找我去她的办公室，并告诉我她觉得我的态度大有改善，我很高兴听到她这么说，这给了我鼓励，让我继续工作下去。
