Writing:

How to cope or deal with problems (to be corrected...).

I have to write about how to deal with problems, and it's not an easy task! I think there are different kinds of problems. I will try to classify them:

1.- Personal problems

2.- Work problems

3.- Social problems

Personal problems

Try to know who you are and where you are at this very moment. Don't try to compare yourself (at least not all the time) with other people, because our mind tries 'hard' to let us down. If you are strong enough, you will be able to 'overlook' certain social 'views' on how to react to a whole range of 'social situations'. Be yourself, whatever they say.... Also, be aware of the opinions and views of others. None of us is 'absolutely' right and true, remember that. Put yourself in the other person's shoes to understand the problem, the conflict.

Problems at work

Perhaps this is a bigger problem (it shouldn't be!), because our lives are so closely linked to what we do for a living and what people think of us, who we are and how we should act. My personal opinion is that we should try to avoid this feeling, this situation of harassment. Can we really? I hope so. We just have to try to understand each other's points of view and look for the most appropriate and balanced "solution". Patience and understanding are essential in this type of situation.

Social problems

This is a very difficult subject, as we live in a society. What can we do to free ourselves from the constrictions of "social life"? I would love to have the solution! The only thing I can tell you is "live and let live". Be patient, understand other people's problems and points of view (above all be understanding) and be as "happy" as you can, taking into account your own life situation. But don't let yourself be influenced by other people, other opinions that may be quite "alien" to yours.

Please note that all this is a personal opinion!

See you soon!
