I believe that there is a solution to every problem, we may not be able to see the solution, but I do believe that there is one. I am reminded of a story told about Thomas Edison when he was working on developing the light bulb. After a thousand attempts, one of his associates said, "we might as well give up, we are no further ahead than when we started". To which Edison is supposed to have replied,"oh yes,we now know a thousand things that WON'T work".

I believe that every problem has a solution. Every situation has an answer. We just may not know or understand how to describe it. We are not all knowing as God is. I am positive he could solve whatever, but our minds have limited capacity so we would not be expected to know or be able to solve everything.

I always believe that saying, "There's always a solution to every problem"....In the first place, it would not be a problem if there is no solution to it. It is like the other saying, "there's a reason to everything". Every problem has a solution, it only depends on the person how he will consider and face the problem. Because all the solutions were already laid down ahead of the problem.

That is how I see it, "all the solutions are already laid down ahead of the problem"...We just do not see it that way because we are clothed with the problem and think that there is no solution to it. People have the tendency to close their eyes and mind when there is a problem. Solutions are already laid down as well as the choices.....it is only upto us which solution to choose. That is why, no one could actually say that "he does not have a choice"...
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING MY RESPONSE TO BE THE BEST ON THIS DISCUSSION.

Hi maean, The solutions were laid down ahead of the problem, I like that thought and believe that you are right. It's true that there is a reason for everything that happens and problems are just stepping stones to greater things. Thank you for responding to this discussion Blessings.

Yes, there is always a solution for every problem ,and is important to
be patient and persistent and eventually you'll find a solution. If you
want problems to be resolved is essential to become a problem solver and
to avoid giving up even if you fail several times.

Yes, I also agree to this. Every problem has a solution only if we really think about the solution and not worsen the situations by getting tense about a problem. Infact all problems have more than one solution. It is up to us to find the most suitable ones and apply to a problem. Instead of panicking, you'd better start thinking and evaluating the chances that your problem gets solved in the most acceptable way, both for you and others. Try to put the problem in simple words, identify all the involved persons and their contribution to creating the problem. Then try to figure out their ability to solve it. All that we really require is a pinch of patience.

Yes there is a solution to any problem and besides God will not give you one if you cannot find a solution for it. Each of us has a problem and admit it or not we do finds ways to solve it right? One should always have to be open minded for him or her to think through the problem he/she has for him to think for himself/herself of finding ways of solving it. One can seek advice from someone he/she trust.

it all depends on what your idea of a solution is. in my view there is a solution to every problem. some solutions however do creat different problems, much like the side effects of some medecines.

Hah! That's funny! We should all think like that! Yes, I do think all things have solutions.. But not always are the solutions found in this (sometimes) strange world we are living in..

This is so true. There is a solution to every problem. And failure is experienced only when one gives up on finding the solution to the problem. Yes, there are temporary failures, just like the attempts of Thomas Edison, but they do not become permanent until you give up.

Hello, Pose123.
I do believe that every problem, no matter how big or small, does have a solution. As you said, we might not be able to see the solution yet. This can be because we are either blinded because of excessive worrying or because we still have not enough knowledge on the subject. But the solution is there. It has always been. You just need to find it. Trying out many ways to solve your problem will result in finding the solution, but in some problems you cannot risk yourself to try and do the wrong thing. That was pretty wise from Thomas Edison. And he is completely right. After a thousand tries, he is ahead of than when he started. At least he knows a thousand things that will not work!
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

Hi friend,I liked the attitude of Edison,but I never get that attitude.I try for sometime and give up atlast.But my husband has the attitude of Edison,he never gives up anything unless he succeeds.But on the way he also would feel fed up sometimes but never has the mind to give up.When I get depressed he never feels so.He says often that he would get someway to attain his wishes,but he never gives up.So for any problem there would be a solution definetely and we should never give up till we achieve.
Thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

Hi sumiirajj, Thank you for responding. Many people find it difficult to continue and often give up, you are not alone in this. The fact that you realize that there is an answer is a good start and I admire your husband's determination. Blessings.

Yes I positively believe that there is a solution to every problem.And if infact we are not able to find a solution to any problem,even after applying our mind,then it cleary means that our approach is incorrect or wrong.Then if we look at the probpem from a different angle or perspective,we will be able to come up with the solution.This approach has helped me personally,many times.........
Have a good day,Pose dear...........

i too believe that. there can't be any problem without a answer. may be answer can't be found by some person ask they are not looking at the correct place. but there are chances of different answers for same questions as the view at which each individual look at each look varies.

Hi legend4u, That is a very good thought and I too believe that there may be different answers to the same problems. Sometimes we have to stop and see what we may be doing wrong, that look at it from a different angle. Thank you for commenting. Blessings.

Probably, YES!!! Though I cannot predict the time frame but sooner or later there should be a solution to every problem.
