Many times a lot of us tend to make life more complicated than it really is. These problems that we face can sometimes be solved much easier, if only we can change our perceptions (mental shift). This applies even to Mathematical Problems.
The trouble is, we are sometimes tempted to take the Easy Way Out... When we start thinking of this option, we are already 50% defeated. Running away isn't a solution to any problem. At times, this option can even make things worse.
My dear students, if you should choose your route to go OUT, then you have failed yourself from TRYing! "You are never really beaten until you Give-Up" (Something I had framed up in my old Primary School wall)
