Rational Beliefs Bring Us Closer To Getting Good Results In The Real World.

People Are Terrified Of Other People Or Difficult Projects Because They Tell Themselves That They Could Fail Or Be Rejected. Failure Can Lead To Sorrow, Regret, Frustration And Annoyance-all Healthy Feelings Without Which People Couldn't Exist.
