"Tough times never last, but tough people do"

This is the title of one of my favourite books. It is one of the most inspiring books, I've ever read. The book was written by Robert Schuller.

Schuller beautifully describes that how an ordinary person can achieve success, despite several problems.

I'd like to mention few points regarding th..



1. Problems are a part of life, Every human being has problem and it is wrong to say that successful people don't have problems. A problem free life is an illusion only. So, accept the problems as a part of your life.
Schuller says,"Don't pray for an easy going life as it is not going to teach you something."

2. Every problem has a limited life span. Every mountain has a peak and every valley has a low point. Similarly, life has its ups and downs. No one is up all the time or down all the time. Problems do get resolved in the long term. They don't last forever.
Storms are followed by sunshine. Winter is followed by spring. Your problems will get resolved given enough time.

3. Every problem has positive outlook also like every coin has two faces. What we consider as a problem may be an opportunity to grow and move further. Every cloud has a silver lining.

4. Every problem make you better. Haven't you heard about it,"Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors." If you're fired from Job, then show your ex-bosses that they have been mistaken to fire you out, and the burning desire of achieving is still there in you.

5. You are the one who has to decide how problems affect you. Obviously you can control problems or the pain but you can control your reactions, your responses towards them. Let problems make you tougher not tender.

6. The road to success is not easy. Every successful person has faced several problems, that too several times, but he has come out of it and therefore he is successful.
We can also overcome any problem, obstacle, or adversity that life imposes on us – if we have a strong enough will. Where there is a will, there is a way.

So Friends, Just remember, the clouds of doubt will vanish away, you should be willing to fight away. The tougher the problem is, the tougher you become.
