First option goes with me. If I become angry with someone, I would like to finish the job quickly to show that I can do it fast, may be with some mistakes....LOL!

You are absolutely correct Deepak. We tend to be fast in a frenzy when we are angry.

yes,balasri this happens with me when I am doing some physical work I do happen to perform it faster than usual.But if I am engaged in a mental work then spurt of anger really acts as a big hinderence on my concentration and as a result I manage to do it slower than usual.

Hi Bala, Anger at someone should give you positive energy, if it doesn't it'll pull you down till you are nothing. If you are snubbed or insulted at not doing something properly should instigate you to do it well and soon. It is to be taken as a challenge atleast their insulting has nothing to do.. I have had such instances and I always take rebules as challenges. If some one tells me that I can't do something I just will show them that I can and will perform better than them. You have not said anything about your habit Bala.. Do not just ask a question.. Tell us what you like to do also..

I asked you about your anger management? you asked for our views but your never came out with yours. I was asking you that dear friend... Every one of us get angry at one time or another. I wanted when you get angry what you would do, what your reactions will be.. I would like to know the answer

I got it.When I am angry I just cannot concentrate on anything and if I try to do anything everything goes haywire.So I stopped being angry for anything.It is always been a nasty experience for me.I am a different man now especially with a daughter.

I think that depends what caused the anger. If it was someone telling me that I wasn't capable or able to do something that made me angry, then I think that would probably spur me on to do a fast and furious job. Otherwise, I think I'd be too busy seething to do any sort of a job at all!

I tend to get more done quicker when I'm angry. I usually find things to do when I get that mad because it helps me to focus my attention on something other than what I'm angry at and that calms me down. But when I am angry, you can expect a spotless kitchen and bathroom in record time! LOL!

When I am angry, I tend to move faster, especially here on MyLot, since making a little extra money will always cheer me up.

If I am doing routine job: It makes me work faster but annoyingly louder as well! (I kind of bang things...which is irritating, I warn). lol.. If I am into something that requires a great deal of concentration and positive thinking: It makes me STOP my work completely only to return when I am adequately refreshed after a hibernation.

I am at a loss to select the situation in which I want to watch Mimpi as both the loud hangings and deep hibernation sound interesting.

I do my best work when I am angry. I can clean my place from top to bottom and hardly break a sweat.

Yes anger is a powerful medium to vent it on your work.

This will depend on whether the job requires more physical or mental application. If it is physical, there is a good possibility that the anger will invigorate and therefore help you do your job fast; if it's the latter, i.e. something which requires you to focus and entrench your mind in a specific task, then anger is certainly a vice.

Most of the time, it slows me down. When I angry or upset toward someone or something it will usually slow me down.

Anger slows down my work. I just dont get into the mood to do anything if I am angry.
