What is the secret ingredient of tough
people that enables them to succeed?

MORE!
Why do they survive the tough times when
others are overcome by them?

The answer is very
simple
It is all in how they perceive their problems.
They look at problems realistically and
practically. They understand the 6 principles
that pertain to all problems.
What are these principles?
If you knew them, understood them, and
practice them, you would too be a winner
and a survivor.

1. Every living human being

has problems

What is your problem?

Are you unemployed?

If you are an impossibility

thinker you probably think that
a job would solve all your
problems.
Teaching at EF
The truth is that employed 2
people have problems too.

Most people who have jobs

complain about the fact that
they have to go to work on
Monday morning.
Countless people have jobs that
they do not like;
they are giving 5 days a week to
unhappiness.
They work to live rather than
live to work.
They hate their jobs.

Self-employed
it is true that they might find
more enjoyment in such a
working arrangement,
but many self-employed have
more problems than those who
work for others.
They have to be concerned
about employee relationships
and managing personnel for
maximum productivity.

not at all because they

feel that they are
unproductive,
depressed and bored.

The point is clear.

Nobody is free from
problems.

A problem free life is an

illusion. Accept the fact
and move on to the
second principle
 2. Every problem has a
limited life span

Every mountain has a peak.

Every valley has its low point.
Life has its ups and downs, its
peaks and valleys.
No one is up all the time, nor
are they down all the time.
Problems do end.
They do go away.
They are resolved in time.
History teaches us that every
problem has a life span. No
problem is permanent.

Do you have problems?

They will pass; they will not last.
Your problem will not live forever,
but you will!
Storms always give way the sun.
Winter always thaws into
springtime.

Your storm will pass.

Your winter will thaw.
Your problem will be resolved.

Every problem holds positive

possibilities

It is the glory of God to

conceal a thing
(Prov. 25:2)

Every problem contains secret

ingredients of some creative
potential either for yourself or
someone

Teaching at EF
There are 2 sides to
every coin.

What may be a problem

to someone can be a
profitable business for
others.
One mans problem is
another mans
opportunity.

3. Every problem will change

you.

Problems never leave us the

way they found us. Every
person is affected by the tough
times.
No one emerges from a
problem untouched by tough
times.

4. You can choose what your

problem will do to you
You may not be able to control
the times, but you can compose
your response.
You can turn your pain into
profanity or into poetry.
The choice is up to you.
You may not have chosen your
tough time, but you can choose
how you will react to it.

When you control your

reaction to the seemingly
uncontrollable problems of life,

then in fact you do control the

problems effect on you.

Your reaction to the problem is

the last word!

That is the bottom line.

What will you let this problem

do to you?

It can make you tender and

tough

It can make you better or bitter.

It all depends on you.
