At the end of the day, all of us hope to say that all is well and that things are in it's rightful place.
Everybody would like to have a peaceful and harmonious co existence with everyone. Nobody likes having enemies, issues, problems and misunderstandings. As much as we try to prevent clashes and fights from happening, sometimes due to one reason or another it happens to the best of us.
Many allow their emotion to influence them and make decisions due to the heat of the moment. When hot heads dominate the scene, reason and logic might be thrown out of the window. Thus, it sometimes results to permanent damaged relationships, bad images, destroyed reputations and personal or group conflicts. Thus, some people might wish they should have thought of it much better before doing something or saying something. Although, there are instances that even if one tries to settle things well and find solutions, if the other party does not want such, then there is a problem and sometimes legal remedies are needed to manage things.
If there is a chance that issues or conflicts can be settled in a diplomatic manner, so be it. I believe that everything and anything can be talked about as long as both parties are open and willing to resolve the issue. My father always tells me that in case of conflict, it is best to try to find remedies or to exhaust non legal steps to solve issues and problems among and between those in conflict. Some say that if it a problem is resolved, things or a relationship of whatever sort will be much better than before knowing that both parties do not want to break the trust anymore.
Focus on Strength

We usually hear more experienced or older people tell us to improve on where we are weak. We are suggested to get more trainings, seminars and practices for such areas where we are weak to be better in those things or fields. Some might improve but becoming an expert on those things he or she was initial weak at might be an exception to the rule.
Dr. John Maxwell, a well known book author and global speaker tells us that it is best to focus on our strength rather than our weakness. Many of us take a long time, years and years, or even spend so much and probably lose so much before we take his advice. When we try to focus on our weakness, it is usually very hard for us to concentrate, improve and master it while if we focus on our strengths, we love it, we enjoy it and we have a greater chance to master it.
In our life, time is of the essence. Life is too short. Why focus on weaknesses and possibly waste time doing so if we can focus on our strengths and be masters of it.
