I am fond of reading things, general things, new things. And things to be a good and better person. I have read somewhere about this kind of mentality. And i think this changed me alot. So here it goes. . . . When you are in a traffic, the problem is not the traffic. When you are with a naughty person, that person is not the problem. When there are things that are not that good, situations that make us angry. THE SITUATION IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS WITH YOU, THE ONE WHO CANT HANDLE THAT KIND OF SITUATION YOU ARE WITH. Hope i shared a good thing. What can you say about it?

I liked what you said, but what has this to do with the cockroach? As I despise those bugs and find them grosse, I would not want to think that they are life that and that I should try to resemble them. UGH!!!

Hi I agree we should learn to fight and solve and the problem and the change should be stated from within us. Many people just blame the situation or the problems but they wont do their part. But i didn't get one point what has the cockroach got to do with this? why so they specifically call it a cockroach mentality?

Yeah, thank you for sharing, the main subject is who you are, how you handle problems, but we can avoid people with cockroach mentality it is common specially in hectic situation, but we, who understand most must be ready to avoid confrontations.

thank you. I think you get what i mean aside from this thing, the cockroach mentality is when you handle the things the way you should. Like the cockroach, it will not panic when you dont panic. Hope you learn something. Thanks for dropping by!

It's related to the energy theory. Is it worth spending the energy on getting irritated, does your irritation make any difference? If not, why spend the energy.
