Last Sunday, I had an experience that taught me a valuable lesson. Sa di sinasadyang pagkakamali, I brought the wrong car key. Kaya naman nung binubuksan ko na ang kotse ko, hindi mabuksan. Kahit anong pilit ko hindi ko talaga mabuksan. Kahit maghapon-magdamag kong subukan, di ko talaga mabubuksan ang kotse. The only solution is for me to find the right key.
Problema: Gusto mong bumili ng cell phone pero wala ka pang pera at kung meron man di mo talaga afford.
Solusyon: Mangungutang ka kahit di mo alam kung paano babayaran.
Problema: Nais mong pumayat
Solusyon: Hindi ka mag-eexercise pero iinom ng mga slimming pills. Kung medyo may kaya ka, magpapa-liposuction ka nalang.
Problema: Malapit na ang exam, gusto mo makapasa.
Solusyon: Hindi ka mag-rereview, mangongopya ka nalang sa katabi mo.
Problema: Nahuli mong unfaithful ang asawa mo.
Solusyon: Gaganti ka at magiging unfaithful din para maramdaman nya ang pakiramdam ng kinakaliwa.
Anong revelation nito sa akin? Most of the time ganun tayo sa tunay na buhay. We tend to use a wrong solution to solve a problem, kaya naman di na nakakapagtaka na di natin ito malulutas. Malutas man natin ito, panandalian lang at bumabalik ulit ang problema.
Lahat naman tayo dumaranas ng samo’t-saring mga pagsubok at problema. Walang exempted dyan. Kahit ang pinakamaganda, pinakamayaman o kahit ang pinakamagaling ay meron parin pinagdadaanan. But one thing is for sure, for every problem there is a solution. Hindi pwedeng wala. But if we try to solve it with the wrong solution we will not get the right answer.
So it’s very important for us to find the right solution to the problem para ma-resolve natin ito at hindi na umulit-ulit o lumaki pa. Most of the time kasi kaya hindi nasosolve ang ating mga problema ay dahil sa mali ang solusyon na ginagamit natin.
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
Pilit mo bang sino-solve ang problema mo sa maling pamamaraan?
Ano ang problema na dinaranas mo na pabalik-balik?
