How do successful people deal with problems? They solve them! Instead of evading, being overwhelmed or immobilized by difficulties, resilient people face these straight on, learning from mistakes, solving problems and using negative experiences to propel themselves onward to success. Effective problem solving helps us “make lemonade out of lemons”, using the different resources we have to manipulate the environment and situation to move forward and succeed in our identified goals.
