Wisdom
There are many things in life that are not as we wish. Facts and people. We usually are not happy because it is raining too much or it is not raining for some time, because the the boss is rude, the politicians are corrupt, the son isn't doing well at school or the girlfriend or boyfriend break up a relationship. The list could go on and on.
Each one has a list of facts or people that we suppose should be different.
Most of us react feeling miserable, sad, unhappy. Some times the mind, the thoughts keep remembering, complaining, complaining without end.
Is there another way of facing difficulties of life?
For some people there is. They just take life as life it is. They accept what can not be changed as part of human circumstance (or will of God, if they are religious). They try to do their best to solve the problems, and the ones they cannot solve they just let them be. Whoever act in this way feel more in peace with himself.
Acceptance of life as life is, is great wisdom.

Yes, taking things as they are if we are unable to change them for the better is wisdom. The question is - how can we know for sure whether it's time to stop making attampts or to try again and again. I suppose that we can remember many examples when some people made success in hopeless situations while others stopped trying. We can also find examples from our own experience or from experience of others that supreme efforts result in nothing and we only waste time, energy, nerves, etc. I think each time we face this situation we have a chance to grow - someone needs to learn to step back, someone needs to be more purposeful or responsible.
I know when it concerns relationships and feelings I am not wise at all. I may behave reasonable, but feel unhappy inside. It is not wisdom. I wonder whether one life will be enough for me to learn wisdom.

In China we often say, 当我们不能改变环境时，我们可以改变自己. It means when we are no longer able to change a situation, we can choose to change ourself or adapt ourself to the new environment although it's a bit difficult at times. In the face of adversity, I often complain about it. but each time I try to tell myself to stop being like that since negative emotion can affect others' mood. I don't want to be an annoyed person. Always remember that live the life with a big smile. it works all the time. :)))))
