My friend told me about a story and concept yesterday. He did mentioned that it was taught by a Chinese grandpops before. Now matter how many time we try solving a problem it still gets back as this is essential to life. This is what they called "Starfish Theory" Starfish, when they break a limb it regenerates and what's crazy about this concept is it keeps on growing back fast. And it has 5 limbs same thing as with the concept. There are five problems in one person's life: financial (lack of money and debts), family (ties and communication), work (stability), shelter (housing and utilities) and food. One of these problems arise it will gradually affect the entire lifestyle's "system" and when you try to fix it with a band-aid approach; it still grows back. I answered back, that's the essence of being successful. Yes, problem always arise and it can't be avoided but if one's self is strengthen; no matter how many limbs may have broken in life; if you have the courage and lots of ideas to solve them; then the possibilities of overcoming them is endless. Hope it move you today. Share your ideas about this. Happy mylotting :)

If there are five limbs which represent problems that may occur again and again after deliberately solving it, there are thousand and one ways to combat it so I do not really think that this so-called Starfish Theory really matter, especially if you hold on to positivity. There are a lot of things that may go wrong in life the same way that there are a lot of things which can be done to make it right again, or to derive greatest lessons from it as well. This is thought provoking and thank you for sharing this insight.

Having positive insights counts. I love your idea about it. Sometimes when one accepts the fact that it is recurring everytime, they're just accepting it and categorized themselves as a failure. For this instance, we can't just justify the end without the mean and having a strong heart in conquering life's battle counts. This is what life is also all about. Happy mylotting more of your thoughts. Thanks!
