Rather than labeling the issues that come up during a typical work day as problems, think of them as speed bumps (speed breakers). An actual speed bump, as you know, is a low bump in a road designed to get your attention and slow you down. Depending on how you approach and deal with the bump, it can be a miserable, uncomfortable, even damaging experience, or it can simply be a temporary slow down – no big deal.
If you step on the gas, speed up, and tighten the wheel, for example, you’ll hit the bump with a loud thump! Your car may be damaged, you’ll make a great deal of noise, and you can even injure yourself. In addition, you’ll add unnecessary wear and tear to your car, and you’ll look foolish and obnoxious to other people.
If, however, you approach the bump softly and wisely, you’ll be over it in no time. You’ll suffer no adverse effects, and your car will be completely unaffected. Let’s face it. Either way, you’re likely to get over the bump.
Problems can be looked at in a similar light. Depending on how you approach and deal with the problem, it can be a miserable experience, or it can simply be a temporary slowdown – no big deal.
Approach the problems like speed bumps - softly and wisely.

Bhagavad-gita As It Is - Chapter 2 Text 57
Srila Prabhupada's Quote
The human form of life although temporary, it has a great value for utilizing for the service of the Supreme. The Supreme is everything but everything is not the Supreme.
The stomach can digest foodstuff for all the sense organs but all the parts of the body is not the stomach. This philosophy of achintya bhedabheda tattva was preached by Lord Chaitanya for world welfare.
