Some people think that troubles in life are a chance to become better, whereas others consider them as destiny that cannot be fixed.

In my opinion, any times of trouble can teach a person a lot of new and important things. First of all, when problems appear, a person has to leave his or her  comfort zone and start thinking and acting in another way to solve the situation. For example, John Rockefeller’s fiancée left him because he did not have enough money. We all know what happened then. Secondly, having gotten into trouble, a person starts thinking differently. For instance, after being kicked out of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs started treating his life differently. He became more content with it and more open.

At the same time, there are people who consider troubles as an inevitable doom and claim that there is no use in fighting with them. They are sure there is nothing a person can do.

I don’t agree with the opinion above. I believe that all things happen for a reason and a person has to learn how to treat them with maximum benefit for his or her life.

In conclusionI would like to say that there are opposing view points on this issue. At first sight, there is nothing one can do about their fate. But in actual fact, if a person looks at the situation differently, there are plenty of opportunities to improve on it. Thus, I strongly believe that there is always a way out of any trouble.
