What's your strategy to deal with challenges and adversity that arise in your life? Do you find focus and deal with those things you're able to affect or do you find you become bogged down in the quagmire that is trying to control that which cannot be controlled? Feel free to comment if you like.

For me, I try as much as possible to remain calm, take steps to manage the situation that I can, and always remind myself that I can't change what I can't control so I honestly let it off my chest. I believe in due time everything will fall in place.

Stunning shot. Nice eye. I find it very appealing to have such a detailed flower in sharp focus and the rest fade a little out. 

>  lack of self esteem so pushes others around, cannot communicate effectively, is prideful and hubris-loaded, narcissistic, egotistical and simply ill-equipped to manage anyone at all.

I think you did him a favor although he may not even recognize it. If he listened well enough, he may be able to save his butt, and if he continues in that vein, he won't need to worry, That is the kind of person they don't want/need in a management position.

It sounds like you caught his tongue with the lashing.

So difficult to deal with people that stresses people. I wonder when will they raise their awareness.

You're right, being prepared is more important. But idk why I'm not always prepared emotionally but when it comes to physically, I'm prepared. It's like I feel sad about myself for being too soft and emotional when stressed were attacking me. But I like the last part, maybe tomorrow is not promised but being humble and kind saves the day. 

Some matter are not things that one need to worry his or her self about not unit when it's so demanding.. nice article bro,kudos

I hope you get the support you need.

It sometimes doesn't work out good when you let someone UP the chain know just how you feel.

Glad you feel better.

In my work experience I believe that no one is better than the others, and that in the line of command must always prevail the productivity that is the general purpose, and for this line of human beings to be possible we all must subordinate the personal; to do an honest, constant, respectful and professional work. 

This breaking point is called (until the bell rings) as you rightly put it.

 Otherwise, it always ends in failure, in a breakdown @galenkp 

What has been conveyed by Marciano is a winning mentality. One must prepare oneself to face problems only when problems come. A very good quote.

I have a principle not to look for problems. When problems come, I will really deal with them. 
What I face is limited to authority and I can control it. If it's out of control, then I'll let it go.

I once had a problem with someone plotting to fail at a job. He is not broad-minded at all because it would destroy the hopes of many people. The problem is between him and me, not with many people on the team. He didn't dare to confront me, but played a double role behind my back. I actually went to see him and told him what the consequences would be if he really meant to thwart the team's work. It will affect the lives of many people. 
Finally, he only conveyed his complaints about the workload he received. I listened with all my heart. How do I know if it doesn't say anything? I replied that "this is just your stepping stone; you are tested for promotion. more burden only for people who can finish it. " We shook hands and all was well.
 
Life without problems. If problems are not addressed and resolved, then they will become a burden.

In situations where it gets really choking I do my best to avoid the person and if they are unavoidable I confront them straight (this is like the recent me though)...

Because looking at 5years ago I barely point out people's errors to them I just had to pretend and keep taking their shit, and I really feel bad when my big mom tell people their shit to their face . But I got to understand why she was so straight with them

So the new me, I just let them know their error and possibly we clear our differences out... Amazing content ✌️❤️

It wasn't until you mentioned this I began to see a great deal of myself in this post. I will definitely be writing my experience in my next post here....

By the way @galenkp I have been meaning to ask how you arrange your post. i really do like it.

Dealing with stuff here also. Landstar Corp. Just cut the BCO's off at the knees. 

Costs spiralling out of control and now they cut off unloading pay and extra fuel being moved from linehaul to 100% driver. 

Just another nudge in the direction of selling the prime and calling it a ~~Day~~ Career...

I lot to learn from this post. Putting in your best and not allowing I’ll equipped leaders to run every ones work down. Let me read it again before penning down a response that will have many personal take always for the future

<div class="text-justify">

The biggest reason why I often prefer to work alone, especially when I have a task job assigned to me, is that people will always reason differently, and there will often be people that will never match your energy to do the job efficiently and effectively. Those kinds of people, regardless of their heirachy of authority, tend to slow me down, and I freaking hate it.

But I have come to understand that working with people will always be inevitable as one cannot be qualified for everything and therefore one will need to be in a team or such somehow.

What I'm trying to do now, which is new, is to do my part of the job as well and quickly as possible while also encouraging the less-motivated or less goal-driven teammate (if we're coworkers). If it were someone higher in authority, I'd try not to give a damn at all and then know that whatever consequence arises for not achieving our goal wouldn't be on me, but on them.

I get easily irritated by drawbacks, so I normally express my frustration and then eventually seem unreasonable. I know that I really cannot control their motives and attitudes, so I just try to let it be.
