In the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, the author Robert Kiyosaki learned from the age of nine that when life pushes him, he can give up, fight it, or learn from it. Mr. Kiyosaki learned this lesson from his friend Mike's father whom Robert decided to work for 10 cent hourly in order to learn how to become rich. The wisdom is very useful in a way that we all can benefit from it and put it to good use as we get older and as we navigate life. From the three options, learning from the pressure in life seems like the best option. But I think otherwise; there are times when the best options are to give up or even fight the battles in order to sort the problems. For instance, if a relationship does not work out, walking away from it may be the best thing in the world for you and your well-being and maybe at time of the happening, you may not realize it, but like Steve Jobs said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." You may not realize it is the best option for you but looking back, you may see that it's the best way to live. As for fighting it, this might be necessary at times rather than letting things happen to you. You know yourself so the best advocate for yourself is you; letting other people taking advantage of you will only lead to a negative outcomes at times; so the best way to solve problems is to fight it rather thing letting things happen passively in many occasions.
Please keep in mind that how you deal with problems depend on each situation. You cannot give up, fight it, or learn from every problem life toss at you all the time. You have to use your best judgement and decide on how to deal with situations accordingly.
