How much percentage in a class of 30 students would agree to you that
Mathematics is a great subject? You might answer “around 10 to 35%” and that is
all. True, most kids today are not thrilled to solve Mathematical equations not
because they do not know the processes involved, but because of the lack of
interest in it.
In a similar way, our daily activities do not mean 100% joy and 0% problems.
At times, we have more problems than joy. Fortunately, some individual are
skilled in handling problems right. Want to know their secrets?
Well, carefree people, as some might call them, have one thing in
common: optimism. These kinds of people do not mean they never had problems
before. Try remembering a colleague, a relative, a friend, or someone from your
community who has the brightest smile at the start until the end of the day.
How many times did you see that person frown? Carefree people are fun to be
with because their attitude is contagious. Have you tried asking them how they
carry their problems lightly? Below are their secrets:
1. Learn to control your
feelings by separating negative feelings from positive thoughts. This is the
first step in solving problems. Only after you have cleared your mind with
unnecessary thoughts can you start solving your problems accordingly.
2. Treat each problem as
challenge and opportunity for self-improvement.
3. Free that scapegoat
attitude. Are you pointing your finger or blaming others for mishaps? Take
responsibilities for your mistakes. No one is perfect, so never put the blames
on others.
4. Use a pen and paper, and
rate the depth of the problem and possible answers to your problem. Probability
law principle will allow you to evaluate how far you have thought of resolving
your problems.
5. Keep a journal and treat
it as a “secret friend” who is always willing to listen to your grievances.
Write your feelings freely.
6. Develop a noteworthy hobby, for this will
help you lessen or minimize stress in your life.
7. Take time off from work
and create variations of your daily schedule. Relax and check out the best
movies in town. Travel and meet new wonderful people. You will find these
activities worthwhile in the long run.
The above tips will help you optimize those positive feelings of
yours. Say you are already consumed by some problems. Here are the 1-2-3 steps
in doing your problem solving:
1. Determine the root cause
of the problem. If you think it is difficult, ask hundreds of why’s and what’s
and you will soon find out the cause.
2. Think, strategize, and
act for resolution.
3. Develop a strong desire
to solve the problem.
4. Review the situation for
you to avoid repeating the same mistakes committed beforehand.
Consider that everybody experiences lowliness many times, but problems
are problems. They are there not to annoy you; but problems are created when
you cannot accept your limitations. Once you accept your limitations, problem
solving is just a 1-2-3 step, hassle-free, and a life-sharpening experience
indeed. Hence, never consume or lock yourself in your room when problem
strikes. Think that problems are states of your being limited to something you
need the most. But if you cannot have that important thing, accept it. Let go
and you will free yourself with worries. Remember, less worries mean less
problems. If you think that you really want some time out because of problems,
consider that there is another room available for you called “improvement.”
