Reaction

In this article, I was very interested the author described about how the stress produced; how it affect our moods, body and life, and which is a good ways to manage our stress. And I was agree with the author’s opinion which “nobody can avoid all stress”.

But I was not agree with the author’s opinion about which must choose the good way, can not try the harmful choices which is bad for us. In my opinion, find a way to solve or manage stress is very hard, sometimes many ways which other people suggest me is not help, however waste my time and make me get more stress. Consequently, find out a way by yourself, whatever it is bad or good; the most important is which can real help you to solve the stress.

In the modern world, everyone is busy for his or her life everyday, so stress is very common for everybody. But we must realize where is the stress produced from; which stress is good for us, and which is bad for us. Finally, the most important thing is understood which is the best way for you to manage the stress.
