How to Overcome Problems 

There is no sea without waves and there is no life without problems.  Everyone, rich or poor, has some problem or the other in his day-to-day life.  But the type and seriousness of the problems differ from person to person.

Why do one face problems ?

If we observe the people around us keenly, we can get a reasonable answer.  No two persons will think alike at all times, under all circumstances.  This situation leads to difference of opinion resulting in problems.

Let us analyse how problems arise. Most of us think that we are right and others are at fault.  If any body points out our mistakes or raises any objection to our views, we are too proud to admit our mistakes.  In order to maintain our stand, we enter into unnecessary arguments, resulting in problems.

Everyday we come across people with differing views. If we fail to understand and adjust with them, we have to face problems. Even if we are right in our approach, we cannot avoid. Problems created by others. In such circumstances, it is wise to be flexible.

We should never think that we are perfect and honest and others are not.  We must try to understand people by listening to them patiently.  If we are at faulty, we must admit promptly.  If the other person is right, we must appreciate sincerely.  If you find any mistake in what others did, we must not point out their mistakes openly in the presence of others.  We can try to correct them politely.

We should not expect others to dance to our tunes. We can explain our views to them in a convincing manner.  If our views are reasonable, they will readily agree with us.
