Solution

Life is full of unexpected problems, obstacles, and setbacks. You must have courage and resourcefulness to overcome many of these difficulties. Sometimes, things don't go as planned. Don't be afraid to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and change your plan of attack. Hence, courage plays an essential role in solving our problems. Often, breaking a big goal into multiple smaller ones can be helpful.

Resourcefulness is not just a skill, it's a superpower. It's the ability to deal promptly and effectively with difficulties, especially when you're courageous enough to face them head-on. In an emergency, keeping calm, quickly assessing the situation, and taking the right action make you resourceful. It often involves devising a creative, ingenious, or unique solution. A resourceful person thinks his way through, over, or around the obstacles or difficulties that block his path. If one method doesn't work, he tries another. This is the power of resourcefulness- it's not just about finding a solution. It's about realizing that you have the ability to create one.

A resourceful person is not just someone who reacts to challenges, but someone who is fully alert and aware of their environment. They think about what is occurring around them, and they are ready to act. He will accomplish what needs to be done - by a strategy, skill, or new approach. He is alert to other possibilities and realises that, usually, several solutions exist. The 'thrill of victory' will begin to regularly replace the 'agony of defeat' that consumes so many people who do not know that they must apply calm, careful reasoning to problems in order to defeat them. Overcoming challenges is how we grow, and being fully alert and aware of our environment is how we thrive.

Never forget: 'To tackle trials and tribulations, be courageous and practice resourcefulness!'

If you do not get lowered in your own eyes
While you raise yourself in those of others,
If you do not give in to gossips and lies
Rather heed them not, saying, 'who bothers?'
You may be the person I am looking for.
If you crave not for praise when you win
And look not for sympathy while you lose,
If cheers let not your head toss or spin
And after a set-back, you offer no excuse,
You may be the person I and looking for.
