A few days ago I chatted with young people who were excited about their dreams. He told me that he was upset. His parents did not approve of him working far away. Whereas the company that is willing to accept him is a company engaged in the field he wants and likes. When his parents disapprove of him, he goes away and doesn’t talk to his parents for a week. His heart was too upset because his parents didn’t understand what he wanted.
When I asked him if he had explained why he wanted to work at the company. He said he had, but his parents still wouldn’t let him go. I was silent to hear that. I remember doing the same thing many times in the past. When my mother refused my request, without asking why I was immediately angry and the easiest course of action was to shut up and run away. Hoping that time will solve the problem and my parents grant my request. In fact, requests are still not granted and hearts continue to be upset and upset.
Come to think of it, we are tired of running back and forth if our request is not fulfilled. And once again, if you think about it, why haven’t our requests been fulfilled. What should be done?
Back to the young. He said that before his parents had asked him, how could he survive in such a remote and remote location? He answered .. don’t know the point of doing it. When asked again, what if there are things that are not desired happen? He answered again .. I don’t know the point of work first.
Hmmm … what’s not right? I am imagining that this young man had prepared a more convincing answer when he was challenged by his parents. What will happen huh? I also imagine that this young man did not get angry and run away because of his parents’ rejection. How is the situation huh?
Escape is the easiest way when we are faced with problems or challenges. But is the problem resolved? Not. The problem will still exist until we really deal with it with the strategy that has been prepared.
Agree? Or still want to run away?
