Attribution theory helps us understand human motivation. It reminds us that people who experience frequent success / positive outcomes often attribute their success to their own effort or ability, and their failure to their own lack of effort or ability. People who experience repeated failure / negative experience, however, often attribute their failure to bad luck or to task difficulty, and their success to good luck or the ease of the task (Weiner, 1990).
“ Anger may bring extra energy, but it eclipses the best part of our brain: its rationality. The energy of anger is almost always unreliable.” Dalai Lama on Twitter
