Solutions to many problems...

There are so many things, don't work out the way we wanted. Teachers have problem that their students are not listening to them. Parents have problem that their children are not obeying them. Boss have problem that his/her employee are not responsible or independent with their job. There are plenty of complaints like this...

Well, the approach to solve any difficult/complex problem is to take step-by-step approach. First of all start with exploring the root of the problem within us, is it my attitude? is it my approach? is it my paradigm? etc...I am not saying that we have to blame ourselves at the beginning to solve any problem, what I mean by exploring ourselves means, we should think first from our side, before we try to develop/explore in somebody else. First we should try to bring change in within (self). I remember one story, There was a mother with 7 year old child. Her child used to eat too much sweets, and doesn't listen to his mother. She decided to bring him to Lord Buddha, in order to preach her child for not to eat excessive sweet. She went to Lord Buddha and explain the situation, Lord Buddha asked her, to bring him after three days. She followed his suggestion, and went on forth day. On that day Lord Buddha explained to that 7 year old child that "Dear son, don't eat too much sweet, its not good for your health". After that, mother of that child asked Buddha, why did you asked me to come after four days, as you could have told this sentence even when I came first time before 4 days. Then, Buddha replied, I didn't tell you son to refrain from sweet on that day itself, because I was having sweet myself, and you should not ask or even expect others to follow your command until you follow it or bring it to your habit.

Let's check the roots of our problem within our self first, before we try to find solution from outside.....You will find that many of the problems/worries are not worth thinking, as you change your attitude and bring good virtues within you, they will go away, and you need not to change the things in outside world...At least this can apply to many problems we have (as mentioned in first para) or our complaints about the Government/Society/Workplace, etc...
