formula for bypassing trouble....

read this quote today....

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it around.
Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble; that's
as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say meet it as a friend, for
you'll see a lot of it and you had better be on speaking terms with it.
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.


liked it... by trouble of course i think he means trouble that we come across in our life that we can't control.. things that happen to us...

there's another sort of trouble which we cause to ourselves by the choices we make.. if those choices were made because we didn't have enough information, we can make better choices in the future based on our experience.. so its good..

if the choices were made because we didn't think, then we live with the consequences and/or choose to think before we make choices the next time..
