Abstract

In life we go through a variety of situations as time passes by. At times, we have a very happy moment because we achieved what we aimed for. For example, we got a pay rise or a promotion or a student got admission into his/her college of choice or a job aspirant got a job that he/she was looking for. We rejoice too much and celebrate it in such a magnitude that it is a sure recipe for disaster when some unpleasant moment unfolds later. Others get too egoistic and alienate themselves from others. There are times when the going has not been good. We invested in the stock market and lost money because the market price of the shares that we bought went down. An entrepreneur might continue to invest more money into a venture still not seeing the light at the end of the day. Alternatively, we lost the job, got a boss who harasses and so on. A student went with some method of preparation but the examination paper was of different resulting in poor performance. Many are unable to face this and slip into mental depression and create problems for themselves and others. Some others simply fall by the wayside not knowing how to react.........................
