When I had this requirements during college where due time is impossible to beat and all impediments pour like domino effect, I can’t help but sigh and say “This life sucks!”. Sure you guys repeated this expression too yourselves countless of times. My thing was I have to complete this computer program as my course requirement during that time with the deadline two days after our professor informed us to do. Bad thing was a typhoon hit our place thus there were still constant power interruptions and needed power alternatives.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have power generators and so have to wait for the electricity to restore. Time lapsed and so the power came back and had to rush my work. Poor thing my computer’s broke after the last black-out so had to diagnose what happened. I was like going to burst off these miseries but stayed focused and positive I can repair the thing even though I never troubleshoot a computer hardware before especially with motherboards (I was a computer science student not a computer technician mind you)

My neurons were like crazy recalling all I’ve learned from my elective classes in computer hardware and from the books I’ve read. Finally, I figured the processor’s the problem so I did my best to make it work. Unbelievably, the machine started to respond and I was like “Yohoo!”. And since my brain still pumped up, I completed the program two hours there and then with my computer still ” naked” and with wires all tangled with my hard disk.

The result, I passed the course, got high grades and learned to repair hardwares (actually, just gained confidence since I already know some basics).

The same with the latest about the financial crisis we experienced globally. The high price of oil fuels, the losses in stock and global markets and the controversies of food contamination are just ways to hone our best such as resourcefulness and innovativeness. You see, with the difficulties of high price fuels, we seek and discover alternatives to beat it. We invented new oil-fueled-free cars and environment-friendly ones. Not only it solved our shortage for fuels today but also open for the new source of energy for the next generation. Amazingly too, it saves our fear for global warming scare from these new pollution free vehicles.

Also, because of the financial crisis, we learned how to make decisions and to execute the best action to save one’s economy. We learned what were the “bad habits” that trigger this unfortunate situation. We learned to be choosy of our products and managed to suppress further cont animation of our own through immediate control.

These are just my positive of views about having crises in our life. Do you have any positive views you can share with us? Tell us then.
