Anger is an unnecessary emotion. Loads of stuff in life can trigger it, but what matters is how you react. I choose not to react.

How do I control my emotions? How do I stop getting angry so often, or how do I stop being sad?

Whenever anger comes up, take out a mirror and look at yourself. When you are angry, you are not very beautiful.

It is best if we do not listen to or look at the person whom we consider to be the cause of our anger. Like a fireman, we have to pour water on the blaze first and not waste time looking for the one who set the house on fire. "Breathing in, I know that I am angry. Breathing out, I know that I must put all my energy into caring for my anger." So we avoid thinking about the other person, and we refrain from doing or saying anything as long as our anger persists. If we put all our mind into observing our anger, we will avoid doing any damage that we may regret later.

Let this become your key - next time when anger comes, just watch it. Don't say.

You are angry, and you watch it. You are not just angry, a new element is introduced into it: you are watching it. And the miracle is that if you can watch anger, the anger disappears without being repressed.

Sometimes we get very frustrated here on court. It is tough to control. It is a mistake.
