【Better than me? Damn it, I'll have to destroy you!】

Two doctoral students, Man A and Man B, went to study at the University of Iowa one after another. Man B started two years later but obtained his degree earlier and was appreciated by his professor; in contrast, Man A failed his oral defense and hit walls everywhere while looking for a job. "This is so unfair! They must have used the back door; the professor is biased!" Man A, who was already sensitive and withdrawn, became angrier the more he thought about it, and the idea of mutual destruction arose in his mind. In November 1991, a campus shooting that shocked the world broke out at the University of Iowa...

► Freud believed that personality is composed of three parts: the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. The relationship between these three can be compared to a concrete image: the Id is a wild horse, the Ego is the master driving the horse, and the Superego is the direction and standard of driving. The instinctual nature of emotions must be effectively controlled; otherwise, it will lead the Ego to destruction. Effective control of instinctual emotions is, in fact, a victory over the Id.

【Are they all talking behind my back?】

A girl from a poor background got a chance to study abroad through hard work. Unexpectedly, she felt like a "duck listening to thunder" (lost) in class due to language problems and felt alienated from her classmates. Thinking back to her old school where she was first in everything, she began to regret going abroad... "I'm so useless, people must look down on me and don't want to be my friend!"

► Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler pointed out that overcoming inferiority requires facing three issues: First, some people are used to comparing their weaknesses with others' strengths, leading to feelings of inferiority. Second, when dealing with a situation, frequently generating negative hints of "I can't do it" makes it easy for one's abilities to fail to function normally, leading to failure. Third, when facing various setbacks in life, if one cannot effectively adjust psychologically and remains out of step with the environment, it is easy to become depressed and indifferent.

【Queues, lateness, traffic jams—so many annoying things!】

A mother was teaching her son to tidy the garden but left in the middle to take a call. To her surprise, in just a few minutes, her son cut down all her beloved tulips! The mother was furious and raised her hand to slap him. The father stepped in just in time and said: "Our greatest happiness now is raising a child, not raising tulips, right?"

► American psychiatrist Redford B. Williams suggested to patients that before you realize you are about to lose your temper, you must ask three questions: Is this matter important? Is my reaction appropriate? Will the situation change? If you can answer these three questions seriously, then your bad habit of losing your temper over small things will change. At the same time, it allows you to maintain a calm heart toward things you cannot change and reflect on whether it is really necessary to be angry.
