Welcome what comes or Run?

Some people say that we should welcome whatever comes our way.
If unpleasant are directed at us, that's all the better.

The best way to deal with it is by absorbing it.

If we can digest whatever hits us, then we can handle anything.

There is no such thing as a "problem" conquers.

I admire people that are tough like that.

The truth is, it's much easier said than done.

If someone says something that isn't complimentary, we take it hard.

If an unwanted change faces us, we whine and try to avoid it.

We would rather side step a challenge if we can.

I guess it's possible to prepare for some challenges.

In the same way that we take a practice test before we take a real test... or the way that we train before a race,

we can also do some preparation for certain challenges.

Before a speech, we can practice giving that speech to our friends.

It's better to get criticism from a friend who cares about you than from a person in our company who might want to take our job.

Before an interview, we can do out best to prepare answers to questions we know will come our way.

I wish I could prepare for every challenge that comes my way.

The motto of the Boy Scouts is "be prepared."

But life always throws us surprises, so we can only do our best.

Having a good attitude and welcoming the challenges and changes... seems like the best way to go.
