Problems in life...

Many a people crib that they have lots of problems in life. But a careful analysis can reveal that the problem is not from outside, but from within. The perspectives they have, the expectations they have are the cause of the problems and nothing else!
The best way, I can think of, is to put it off for a while until the heat is lost and then analyse it leisurely. But this is quite difficult to do. It is very natural for us to react instantaneously. But experience might teach one this very lesson of being calm and composed at emotional situations. But it is still upto the individual to learn this lesson!! Once you have learnt this lesson, I believe, problems are no longer problems, rather, challenges! :-)

challenge, problem, same difference.
challenge just romanticises the notion of a problem. Imagine if problems in a math exam were challenge 1, challenge 2 :P

hmm....yes, Kaushik. Thats one way to look at it.. I associated challenge with a positive attitude and problem with a negative attitude of brooding over the task at hand...:-)
