Quote from Funster:
IMHO you will never get rid of your anger it is part of who you are.
In any case you might find, like me, that the energy your anger gives you can actually be channelled to work positively.
Many of my best days in terms of trading or other business start off with me flying off the handle. It wakes me up!
I have seen head shrinks, but I still think they talk rubbish. They just want u to conform to "be a nice human being" and calm down.
Well my answer to that is most if not all highly successful people have personality disorders of some sort.
Bottom line it (for me anyway): you can be normal and nice, or successful and a bit weird/eccentric.
Thats OK but you need some way to control yourself.
To really dissapate MY anger I think of some past event in which it has caused embarrassment. You are then just training your anger to accept limits (just like the animal it is!).
In my case I was extremely rude to my broker. They subsequently closed my account and returned my funds, even though there was plenty of money in there. (who said they were all greedy buggers!!!).
The thought of this soon puts a limit on what my anger will do after that 10th loss in a row!
Hope this is helpful.
