" Think of problems like a swim in a river. When the current gets too rough for you to handle, climb up the bank for a while, and once you caught your breath and rested your limbs, dive back in with renewed strength and vigor to tackle the current. "
I have posted this elsewhere, and someone, a girl and obviously a young one, said it's easier said than done.
Yes, perhaps. But I guess the girl must have read the thought wrongly. Climbing up the river bank in the middle of tackling a problem is not the solution. Climbing up the river bank is a way to take a breather, to take a moment to stop and check out the situation, weigh options available, and think out solutions. One cannot think clearly if neck-deep in a problematic situation.
But with a rested mind, it gets easier to see solutions, and at times it's amusing to find that solutions are just there, sometimes shamefully obvious... waiting to be picked up, possibly imperceivable before because we are left myopic by problem-ridden river water.
