Overcoming Difficulties
Alkım Demİrtaş
Overcoming difficulties is never easy and everybody has a different way of doing so . Difficulties motivate people to do better , they can also demoralize someone and cause them to get stuck in a rut and not be able to achieve what they had set out to do . But overcoming difficulties is not impossible .
Like I said before , everybody has their own way of overcoming difficulties . Some people might just say “ Mind over matter ” and dive headfirst into solving their problem , some people might take a long hard thought about the situation they find themselves in and some people might just sit down and cry about it . I am personally 50 % in the group of people who just do and don ’ t think , and 50 % in the group of people who think before solving a problem . I believe that , depending on the problem , thinking , or not thinking might be better . Some difficulties are just so hard to solve that the more you think about them , the more afraid you become of overcoming them , so it is better to just dive headfirst into solving it and not give it a thought . Some difficulties are less like this , but also put you in quite a bind . I believe that if this is the case , one must employ critical thinking and ponder about how to solve their problem first . And then there are the people who just sit down and cry about their problems . When I see these people , I can ’ t help but think that they are quitters . If you want to solve your problems , overcome your difficulties and troubles , then you must take action . The world as we see it now was built by people who took action and solved the problems many of us used to face in the past . If you want to succeed in any area of your life , then you must take action . You simply must . Like Enid Blyton said : “ You ’ re trying to escape from your difficulties , and there never is any escape from difficulties . Never . They have to be faced and fought .”
In conclusion , I believe that overcoming difficulties is a challenge for everyone , but the fact is that no difficulty is too great to overcome , and enough willpower and determination is enough to solve your problems . But you must act instead of sitting around all day and crying , pondering about your problems .
