The Problem with "Problems"

Nothing is more universal than "Problems".
Real or imaginary, everyone has them.
Mark Twain once said "I have had a lot of problems in my life, most of which never happened".
Norman Vincent Peale, author of "Power of Positive Thinking", told his complaining parishioners that the only way to get rid of all the problems is to join the people buried in a cemetery.
Problems never seem to come alone.
You have probably heard the story.
A teacher asked his brightest student "what is the singular of Problems".
The student replied "There is no singular. They never come alone"
How do we get rid of the problems?
Unfortunately, many believe that burdening others with your problem is one way.
This never works. Unless you are willing to listen to an earful of their grief.
Some one said, "Never tell your problems to anyone. 20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them".
We teach our network marketing team to stop using the word "Problem", and
replace it with the term "Challenge".
Somehow "Challenge" conveys something temporary which can be handled.
But people end up using both the words anyway!
Like, "This challenge is a huge Problem".
Well, you try.
There is only one solution to this issue.
We need to form a World Socialistic Government which will collect all the problems in the world and distribute them equally among the entire population.
For sure, I will have at least one supporter for this idea -
U.S. Congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)
😃
Ha ha 🤣 for the AOC
