Problems or opportunities?

You fear problems? Indeed you do, who doesn't? Our human brain is wired, crazily wired, to fear situations that seem foreign, that seem difficult (or assumed to be so), that which lack our expertise and that which is problematic. Result : We opt out of such situations claiming the very famous no loss-no win policy. But what about the opportunities? What about the chance to grow, to learn? We blow it off without a whim, forgetting that the most highly successful things, be it business, enterprises, companies or forms of entertainment including books and movies have been the result of raking in opportunities that seem to be in obscurity. Opportunities are everywhere, they need someone to have the ability to find them, hone them and persevere with them as they turn into successes or at least give you an experience beneficial enough to be successful the next time they knock your doors. And they best hide in the places you fear the most - problems. They know you won't search them there because you fear problems. It scares you! And they know you aren't courageous enough to tackle your fears, and then they laugh at you. Then there is born someone who hates to be laughed at, hates to give up and hates to fear. When they find him who is able enough to go past his fears, take his problems heads on with his life-experience and knowledge; they scare him more. But he is brave, he has the courage, the grit, the gusto to be the change he wishes to see, to change this world for better, much better and be a part of it. He does so by the problems he faces and battles them into opportunities with a grin on his face. And when he meets someone filled with fear, "What do you see?" he asks, "Problems or Opportunities?"
