It Is In The Whole Process Of Meeting And Solving Problems That Life Has Meaning. Problems Are The Cutting Edge That Distinguishes Between Success And Failure. Problems Call Forth Our Courage And Our Wisdom; Indeed, They Create Our Courage And Our Wisdom. It Is Only Because Of Problems That We Grow Mentally And Spiritually. It Is Through The Pain Of Confronting And Resolving Problems That We Learn.
