Trouble-shooting

Feel thankful for a conversation with a whisky friend.

Problem is something that one will confront for as long as he lives. Sometimes they come assembled at a time, all at once. And we found ourselves in a lugubrious state called desperation. Alamaksss....

Research is something that has been burdening me. Stuck here and there, it wrenchs over all of my thoughts and attention. I have to catch up the deadline for conference presentation, thesis completion and the most important thing : RESULT, in 3 months. The answer of my problem of course is (not as simple as stated) doing the best I can, in other word : Ganbaroooo.



Another problem arised. I had to choose to stay in a condition or leave it out because something related with the past. As a matter of fact, staying in that condition is one thing that I had been feeling really happy for among other unsatisfying things. In the same time, I've been preparing some tests that I expect to support that condition. If I leave, I know I 'll be devastated and have to turn in those plans.
It was like all the doors are suddenly closing down to me.
After a seemingly interminable talk and anger, I can say that my problem is finally settled. It is not easy but I am trying to accept and accomodate myself into it stepwise.

A friend gave me some advices in dealing with problems:
1. Change our standpoint of viewing our problem. Sometimes it is ourself that tends to make things worse and more complicated.
2. Take one step back to cool down so that we are able see things clearly. ( I always failed to do this).
3. Solve the problem one by one. Conclude one general solution and then go deeper into the specific solutions.
4. Find a solace in a confidant, or someone who you feel comfort with.
