How do you response when things does not go your way?

Life is full of surprises and it does not always go according to our plan. If life goes exactly as what we planned, we will all be live in a monotonous and boring life. It the the surprises sprouting out of problems that make it more challenging and person without problem is the person who is now six feet underground.”

“If a problem can be solved,no need to worry about it. If a problem cannot be solved, what is the use of worrying?’ It is in the nick time when a problem arise and how you handle it differentiate between success and failure.

In the  “The Apprentice” I believe it is season three when a group of apprentice hopeful of Donald Trump were asked to design a line of “gadgets fashion”, fashion wear in which the customers can store their favorite gadgets inside their clothes or pants where they can be easily accessible and use. Two groups of apprentice hopeful were asked to do the design and presented to a famous fashion store. All things went well except for one problem in each group.

Group A had their main fashion wear with the Logo and Motto printed upside down. There is not time for them to re do the printing.

Group B had their main fashion wear left inside the designer studio and they are late for the presentation.

While both teams have similar challenges of facing their judges without their best show piece, it is in this situation that differentiate between success and failure. Group A decided to make some amendment on their main show piece and the presenter carry on  to highlight the gadgets friendly design fashion and attract the attention of the judges.

When Group B discovered that their main show piece was left inside the studio, they started to point finger and accusing each other on their responsibility, and the presenter lost her composure and fumble in front of the judges.

Needless to say, you can judge who was the winner.

Life is unpredictable and never go according to what we have plan, it is in this problematic time that make  or break a person. A lot of time, we worry to much of a problem that we loose our sense of judgement and thinking, we started to find an excuse or scapegoat to let our self out of the mess instead of looking for a solution that path the way for future and make us a stronger and better person.
