None is escaped from problems

In my childhood I thought people who are enjoying stardoms are far from real word problems. They don’t need to think for their daily bread and butter. They are living in another earth where problem can never touch any of any of its belongings. But gradually my perceptions got changed and I came to know that every people on this earth are bound to some sort of problems even if our so called celebrities. Cricketers are having problems of retaining their places in team, actors are scaring of losing big assignments, parents are worrying to get their daughters married, students are finding themselves in severe completion to get berth in universities, executives are under tremendous pressure to achieve their targets, politicians are scaring of losing their seats, graduates are desperate to get jobs etc. So the conclusion is no one in this earth is escaped from problems and some how bound to it. Then how life is precious if it’s full of problems?

But I can say human life is worth living as it’s full of problems. Life is enjoyable for them who know how to deal with the problems in better way. Once you get to learn the acts of fighting problems, life will be no more burdens for you; rather you would love to take challenges. To me life means entering a new set of problems after solving the previous set of problems. We must have to get ready for upcoming challenges in our life by knowing this very fact that problems may knock the door at any point of time.

Fighting with problems doesn’t guarantee you success always. Some people links happiness in life to success, but it’s not true. In life success and failure are equally important. That’s why it is said: ‘Failure is the pillar of successes’. People who are determined they learn lessons from their past mistakes and try to do better in their next attempts. So failure doesn’t not mean the end of the life, rather it would be a call for better preparation for next time. See what happened to Sourav Gangually in recent past. This southpaw from west Bengal was ousted from captaincy as well as from the team. The entire nation stood against him. The media, the board and even if his own mentor started to say against him. But thanks to his guts and determination which saw him the way back to team again. He prepared hard and utilized the occasion to his level best in order to make one of the greatest came back in Indian sports history. Not only he returned but banged in his own style which forced his critics to change their views against him. So sometimes failure changes the rest of life because failure can only increase the appetite of success.

Even if you failed from time to time you have to interpret it in other way. May be that was not your cup of tea. That’s not your failure; you tried with lot ways which didn’t work for you. Definitely you are destined with other mission and you need to go for accomplishing this. Had Sachin Ramesh Tedulkar been good in studies, we would have to be deprived from witnessing such a master batsman as he is. Studies were not his cup of tea rather he was more destined to cricket. Thanks God he identified and picked his goal at very early age.

So life is meant for living it in the way you can enjoy it most. Some points are to remember :

  • Success and failure are equally important in some one’s life. You need to learn the lessons from failure and regroup your inner resources for better future preparation.
  • Don’t think yourself inferior to other. If some one is doing better than you in one discipline you can also beat him in other discipline. Just believe that you are more destined to the later job.
  • Make it sure that no one is stealing laugh from you. You are here to enjoy your life to the maximum extent. For anyone or for anything you shouldn’t stop laughing.
  • Problems come and go through out the life. But the must import thing is keeping yourself cool whatever the situation may be. Try to feel easy even if in the hardest moments in your life.
  • Find the reasons of discomforts and try to address the issues immediately. If you still believe you can’t then get out of it immediately and search for your own comfort zone.

So friends I hope you would love to accept challenges in your life and never try to run away from your problems.

Dear friend Hari,

If I read this blog one year ago, I would think to myself: Yeah right, that doesn't work for me... I was always in the middle of some trouble in my life, but now, after 31 years I exactly started to realize that things work this way in life. So now I am prepared every day for new troubles in my life. When something occurs, I come to myself, start thinking about the past, because maybe I've probably been in a same difficulty before, try to remember how I act and then act different... Problem solved, ready for a new day with a new problem ... since 1-1-2008 I never stopped smiling and beiing happy, just as I promised myself in 2007....

Thanks for your great blog and friendship!!

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Your friend Pascal!
