From the Paper:

"The President of the American Institute of Stress says that stress is difficult to define because it is so subjective. It causes fear and anxiety in some, yet is highly pleasurable for others. It increases productivity up to a point, but a high level of stress causes deterioration of the ability to function. Trying to win a race or a game is a pleasant kind of stress, but the kind of stress that creates heart attacks and problems is destructive. (Rosch 2)"
"Whether a person is trying to do the best they can at finishing a project on the job, or is trying to win a war under adverse circumstances, if it is for the right motives, there is a transformation of the personality that brings one strength."
