Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. We can easily become unhappy we solve our problems. about our problems can affect how we do things at school or at home. So how do we deal with our problems?
Most of us have probably been angry our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may .
When we’re angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Have you ever seen young children playing together? But they fight very soon, and decide not to talk to each other.

He can’t walk or even speak, but he regards his many physical problems as unimportant. Now he is known a great scientist in the world. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let’s not worry about our problems. Let’s face the challenges instead.
