“At some point, everything’s gonna go south and you’re going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work ... You solve one problem and you solve the next one and then the next. And if you solve enough problems, you get to come home."
This is a quote from one of my favorite movies, "The Martian", which is about an astronaut biologist who got stuck in Mars alone and was so desperate to go back to Earth by all means. During the process, he was faced with numerous difficult problems but he finally made it back to earth. And below are some key attributes that kept him alive during his years in Mars:
1. Be positive
2. Know your goal
3. Gather all facts
4. Break the problem into manageable steps
5. Learn from failures and make adjustments
For sure we all face challenges and setback in daily life, but it's always our attitude and good tactics that help us get through the hard time. As said in the above quote, " ... If you solve enough problems, you get to come home." But of course, all of these are just craps if his teammates didn't go back for him. Therefore, friends are as important in problem solving.
May your friends be with you. 🤜🤜🤜🤜🤛🤛🤛🤛
