Summary:

This article discusses how to convert the stress to positive effect. We are facing stress everyday and dialing with it in deferent ways. Thinking positively and learning form our mistakes will help us to get more control over our stress. There are some instances that we gain more from being on stress like stress if we would like to do something, the stress is pushing us to set deadlines and finish earlier. Also there are a lot of examples of stress that can be used in positive way like traffic jams, family issues and much more. It is shown that not all stress is bad but we can think about it positively, which in return reflected in our health.

Reaction:

I think the article is giving us hope in dealing with stress and how to manage it, but there are some points that are shown in the article seems to be not generally right. For example the people are differ in their responses to the stress and we can not generalize the positive way of reaction all the time. There are some information she used in the article based on study but she never said when this study was and where we can find it. Finally she is discussing only for women and trying to say that women is able to control their stress more than men based on no study or a research. But in general I agree that we have to train our self to manage the stress, to think positively, and learn from our mistakes.
