develop your mind, and you will certainly overcome your complexes. If we do not react to our opponent, they may trouble us more, and after a certain stage it will become impossible to take any measures to counter their aggression. Kindly comment. This is a totally wrong perception. If you have an opponent, you are allowed to solve the problem that is presented, but by applying an effective measure. By an effective measure I mean a measure that doesn’t cause the opponent to react further. An effective measure is one that doesn’t provoke one’s opponent. Non-provocative planning is the best answer to deal with this kind of situation. Every problem can be solved. It is wrong planning that fails to solve the problem. o Ray of Hope Just as morning is always followed by night, so does success inevitably follow failure.
