Recent studies of anger have shown that it can actually improve individual's to complete a task, rather than making an individual uneasy and confused. Researchers have found that Anger has increased motivation and focus, due to particular tasks. They compared angry and nonangry participants to do the same tasks and found that the angry individauls were able to score higher in tasks related to confrontational situations.
However, The non angry particpants had scored higher in the non confrontational situations. Now a day's individuals try to listen to anger-inducing music, and recall past events in which they were angry to help them focus and succeed. While, others tend to relax and become more calm to help them acheive certain tasks.
From previous experiences, does anger benefit success? or does it make it worse? and why?

Anger for me benefits success because when I use to play soccer, I would take my anger that I had and I would use it during practices or games. Anger is a good motivator to do something well.
Anger works for different types of people in different types of ways. For me, it helps benefit me in most ways. It helps me focus more and helps me get more in tune with what I want to do. If anger builds up inside of me, it always makes me strive harder to what I want. But also, it does have a negitive affect on me. I think that anger helps most people become more deterimined, but also may stress others out.

Anger benefits people in different ways. For me anger benefits success; it helps motivates me. If I take out my anger into something that I am doin then i will perfom better. When I play in basketball games I play better when I am angry.
In my eyes anger is different for everyone but for me when i played soccer i preformed better when i was upset and angry. The anger would make me mad that i would want to play my best and win my games and not let down my teammates. It would cause me to take my anger out on the game and would motivate me to do better. But when my team was winning i would not care by playing laid back and lazy. So I do believe that anger is a good motivator.
I believe that anger is beneficial in different situations. For example, if you were having a bad day and had a basketball game later that day, you could take your anger out in the game in a positive way. But on the other hand, if you're taking your anger out on other people, it's not beneficial to you or the other individuals.

I believe that anger is beneficial in certain situations. Such as, if something aggitates you, then it would be beneficial to take it out on something that the anger would help you excel in; Sporting events, exercising, proving someone wrong (for the right reasons). Anger could be motivation to do better, like if someone told me i couldn't do something then i would be peeved and take that anger out on proving them wrong and putting forth the effort with the energy from my anger. In other situations, anger can be dangerous. If you're trying to calm down or take it out on something where someone or yourself could get hurt its bad. Domestic Violence or even something as simple as getting behind the wheel of the car. Anger can lead to recklessness.
Depending on the situation you are in anger can benefit success or even make things worse. From previous experiences I think anger is more beneficial in the situations that I have been put in. This is because it allows me to keep focus without getting distracting. Although for some people anger could cause them to be careless.

From my previous experiences anger has made me more successful, but it has also made me less successful. Sometimes during a diving meet when I'm angry I'm able to use the anger as motivation to do everything as well as I can. In those cases anger helps me be successful. In other cases if I'm really angry then it actually messes me up and I lose my concentration. I think anger can benefit success, but I think it depends on how angry you are and what you do with that anger.

In some cases, anger can be beneficial to success. When you are upset about something, letting that anger out can help you succeed in what ever it is you are doing. On the other hand, being angry can make you do reckless and stupid things. Also, anger can fuel hard work. If you are really upset with someone, you might strive to do better than them. Sometimes that is good, other times it is bad. I don't think anger is ever only good or bad for success. It varies per situation.

From pervious experiences I can say that anger does help one to complete tasks more effectively, especially in sports. While I am at practice my coach gets under my skin and that makes me so anger. That anger that coach has fumed in me gets me so mad. The madness that I feel from the coach gets me to push myself and be more aggressive when playing, which results me winning the ball more. All in all in my eyes anger does have a positive spin on life.
I think that anger does help success in some cases because it does give people the energy and motivation needed to succeed. I think it's especially useful before sports games and when doing house chores because you just want to get things done. I like listening to angry music' as a motivator when i clean my room.
i personally use anger as a motivation to accomplish what I want. I use it in soccer to get into the game and help me focus more. Although, it's helpful at times in sports, it can also get you suspended for games for acting in the wrong way
