Anger Management

Anger has the ability to destroy your relationships, your health and your state of mind. How do you feel about anger? Many people believe that anger is neither good nor bad; it is what you do with anger and how you react to anger that makes a difference. Think about how you have handled your anger in the past and how you have reacted to other people?s anger. What does it tell you about yourself?

" Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot."
