Some days back , one of my friends said that "We should never take tension because life is another name for problems. "I totaaly agree with the first sentence but I refuse to accept the latter one.
It totally depends on one's perspective , the same circumstances that is problem for me might be an oppurtunity for you & vice-versa . As it is very rightly said -> "Two persons look through th same windoe, one see the mud, other see the stars."
I have personally noticed that many of us says that we will start enjoying the life only after the day we reach blah-blah milestone. It is good to have determination but it doesn't mean that you do not value the most important gift given to you by God - "Ability to laugh and enjoy life." Afterall,"success is a journey and not destination."
Some days before , I saw a person near Sangam in my hometown,Allahabad whose physical disabilities is impossible for me to describe but still he was possessing the divine smile on his face , I could not resist myself and went to ask him the reason , he simply replied Why to cry over things one cannot change , instead try to enjoy the things that you can".In other words, "Many of us cries over things that we do not have , that we forgets to focus on things that we do have."
So , the only thing to get the most out of the life is to look for the positive in each and everything and just dont pay attention to the negatives because "Every problem in itself an oppurtunity." This is one thing that separates the winners and losers. Don't believe me , just listen to words of John Milton (the poetry legend)whose major work came after he was blind , reason given by him "My blindness is a blessing in disguise, As ofnow I do not need to waste time in other things around me and as a result I can concentrate more on thinking.
This is what a positive attitude can do for one . So just enjoy each and every moment of life because "Yesterday is gone, Future is mystery , Today is gift , that is why it is called present."
Well in my view "Life is another name for enjoyment and oppurtunities and not for problems."

Try for the best , expect the worst
Everywhere I have been reading that always expect the best results for your efforts and the best will happen , but for me this is only good for books and not for practical life . Afterall , life is not a fairy tale that what you expect and you will get it . In my personal opinion we should always mentally prepare always for the worst result .
One of my friends use to say "umeed nahi rakhni chayiye , umeedain tootti hain to bahut dukh hota hain." and I totally agree with him .
As Lord Krishna used to say in Geeta " Work but do not have the desire for fruits . "
Many will say that the only motivating factor for them to work is the successful result , Guys believe me I am no different from you. We all work only to acheive the proper result , what I mean to say that we should prepare ourself mentally that even if the things do not turn out as we have expected , it should not demotivate our spirit.
I have personally noted many times that my friends used to work very hard but if they do not get the desired results , then they becomes very upset and for some days live a life in a manner that the world has come to an end for them.
In the novels "the secret , as a man thinketh , think and grow rich " , everywhere they say that always expect the best results for your outcome , and then they give some motivational quotes about failure like "Failures are stepping stones to success " , " The more you fails , the more successful you becomes " , etc , etc.
But I have not understood one thing that why are you asking person to feel motivated in the beginning then if things turn out wrongly , then give him lectures about failures and other when he might not be mentally prepared to take it because he has become very disappointed .
In my view , it is better to expect the worst so that even if something wrong happens , your spirits are still on a high . If things turn out as expected then It is very good for you , if not then also nothing bad happens .
That is why I always use to say that "Try for the best and expect the worst."
