Success can be used as a form of revenge by turning negative emotions into positive outcomes through a process known as sublimation. By channeling anger and rage into achieving success, individuals can overcome grievances and keep themselves focused. This approach becomes crucial as one progresses in their endeavors and faces more challenges over time, necessitating the ability to handle anger and frustration effectively. The strategy involves diverting anger towards productive activities like physical exercise to prevent impulsive actions like posting hurtful messages or comments online. It teaches the importance of managing anger in the moment and utilizing it to drive oneself towards success, even when residual anger lingers after initial outbursts.
