Why Do Problems Won't Leave Me

I haven't been able to solve my previous problems yet, here comes a new one. Yesterday, a new friend, an employee of the municipality invited me to a not so clear event. I thought we are just going on a nearby place within the municipality. It was too late when I have known that we will be going on the main city of the province which would take us almost an hour of travel. And added to my problem was that my cellphone was left at the office. I can not call my group to inform them where we are going. I was able to go home past ten in the evening and they were all worrying about me. I have known that they already informed the municipal employee incharge in human resource about what happened. I feel so sorry for being such a dumb person.

hi Aries, why you alone was travelled to that place, if you does not have cell phone, have you does not any cell phone with the employee of the municipality, you can ask him and can call to your team, or even that person does not have cell phone,you can make a call to your team by a public phone, i do not accept for this,you have put your members in worry hours together.

Everyone makes mistakes, just try not to make the same mistake twice. If your actions will effect others, make sure you explore all possibilities before you act. Establish a routine that will minimize errors. Always share your plans with a dependable person so your location is always known.

You can't borrow your friend's cellphone, or to a public phone?

Don't worry about making the mistake as it is already done, every body once in a while will make the mistake of not planning well. Just talk to the hr and explain what happened and hope that he will understand and in the meantime don't beat yourself up since there is nothing that you can do to change it.Please you have to also stop conversing that problems will not leave you as what we converse is what we possess.

If problems leave you, then life would not be boring, lol! Problems maybe stressful, but it keeps our minds busy to think, think and think, and find solutions to whatever that comes our way. Problems make or break us, but he important thing is that we learn to know more about ourselves, what we can do and what we cannot, learning from mistakes, and hopefully making us better persons.

Hi there! I always believe that God will never give us burden we can't handle. Everything happens for a reason. Though at times we can;t help but overwhelmed with the problems but you should trust God. I have been down just two weeks ago and those negative feelings almost ate me. But god is really good that He let me see that I am still lucky even with those problems I had. So, don't blame yourself. Trust God and what is important that you learn your lesson. God bless.

don't be hard on yourself. It happens to everybody and forgetting small things at times is just normal. Just explain circumstances to your friends and as this was unintentional from your side they will understand you in time.

You're not the only one who has a lot of problems, or not only me, but everyone of us. Just don't let the problem control or ruin your life but instead make it a way to make yourself stronger. Problems are always on our life for us as a challenge or trial which teach us lessons which makes us stronger. Don't let yourself be carried away, don't tell yourself dumb, don't run away from your problem, face it, remember that whatever you do don't regret it, no matter how many times you fall you can always stand up.

Mistakes happen with everyone and it is not that you have murdered someone in this case, but you just forgot. So stop being so little in esteem. You have to have high self esteem. You think that you have problems and you are dumb that is why bad things happen to you. Please I request you to watch the movie Secret. You will be transformed if you see the movie. hope you will stop saying dumb to yourself. have a wonderful day ahead.

Dear Aries,you are not a dumb person,everybody will make mistake sometimes,but I think no matter the situation is,you should take your cell phone along with yourself,without your cell phone it will cause many trouble especially if you will leave far away from your office,I always keep my cell phone when I go out,no matter it is for work or for vacation.

Sometimes we do something foolish. But every foolish thing makes us cleverer. Do you think so? You can get experience from it . Don't blame yourself, it's not a big deal.

Thank you caopaopao for sharing your opinion. I know it's not a big deal for me. But they created a big trouble out of this. They are all over reacting. As if I am still a young girl. But I never told them that. I just keep it to myself but as I try to reconsider the situation, I never see anything to be worried about.

Well I guess before joining in when invited you should always try to know where you are going and also inform your co-workers where you are going as well so that in eventualities like these things then at least your co workers would know your whereabouts. I think that leaving cellphone is not advisable especially when traveling whether it be short and more so if traveling long distance. I guess it happened already and we all have to learn from it so that mistakes will be prevented.

Sorry to hear that. You are not a dumb person. First, you have to calm yourself. Don't let negative thoughts in your mind completely. You have to understand that there are some things beyond our control. Some events cannot be stopped. What is important is you have learned your lesson and you are not doing it again. I also suggest that before you go on trips, clear up everything first such as the place where you are supposed to go, the travel time, the people you will be travelling with, and who will pay the gas, seriously. Tomorrow is another day. You can do better things.

Sometimes I am like that, I just go with the flow without realizing that it will be bad or will affect me. Sometimes, we should learn how to ask and say no, bcoz some people don't think of others. Don't worry, just learn how to deal with it, we will always have problems, just be strong. :)

Take the problems in your life everyday as a medicine that you need to take in order to bacome stronger and be a better person in the future. I guess everybody has it's own problem and yes, sometimes i also question that but it only matters in how we deal and react with it.

Awww sorry to hear that. I can just imagine how bummed you are. You can't blame your friends if they worry about you, they just care so much. I'm sure you didn't mean for that to happen, not if you can avoid it. Well, crap happens. I'm sure you also learned from this experiene.

I have no intention to make them worry. It's just that things happened that way.
