HOW I WILL REACT WHEN FACING PROBLEMS

In our global scale, we face challenges that test our emotional, mental quality, illness, unemployment, grief, divorce, death, or even a new venture with an unknown future.Struggles and difficulties are part of life. You cannot avoid these problems; it will always arise no matter how much you try to take control or organize the things in your life.There are few strategies to face these problems.

1. Turn Toward Reality

So often we turn away from life rather than toward it. We are masters of avoidance! But if we want to be present—to enjoy life and be more effective in it—we must orient ourselves toward facing reality. When we are guided by the reality principle, we develop a deeper capacity to deal with life more effectively. What once was difficult is now easier. What once frightened us now feels familiar. Life becomes more manageable. And there’s something even deeper that we gain: Because we can see that we have grown stronger, we have greater confidence that we can grow even stronger still. This is the basis of feeling capable, which is the wellspring of a satisfying life.

2. Take Your Time

As the story of the tortoise and the hare tells us, slow and steady wins the race. By being in a hurry, we actually thwart our own success. We get ahead of ourselves. We make more mistakes. We cut corners and pay for them later. We may learn the easy way but not necessarily the best way. As an old adage puts it: The slower you go, the sooner you get there. Slow, disciplined, incremental growth is the kind of approach that leads to lasting change.

3. Accept Success and Failure as Part of Life’s Journey

We are all learning: No one gets it right every time. A more compassionate attitude toward ourselves only helps us to stay in the game. The dynamic process of life—trying, succeeding, failing, and trying again—is the only way to develop lasting confidence in ourselves. We learn through experience that we can both succeed and recover from failure. We also learn to be humble and so to develop a view of ourselves as limited creatures that will always need the help and support of others. No matter how mature or successful we become, the child within always will need mentors and friends who’ll see us through.

SOLAS

Prior to the intense mishap with the Titanic, happened on 14 April of 1912, in the wake of crashing into an ice sheet, the history had just recorded different genuine oceanic mishaps. Notwithstanding, few have had the enduring effect of what occurred with the Titanic and no different has gotten a brief reaction of the global sea countries so as to take gauges that would add to wellbeing of human life adrift. The Titanic' crash drove the global network to respond promptly in discovering answers that would assist with keeping comparative mishaps from repeating later on. 

In such manner, the main global gathering on the security of life adrift was held in London in January of 1914 at the greeting of the British Government. This has been converted into endorsement, two years after the mishap, of the main International Maritime Convention, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, the SOLAS Convention, and it would surely have been definitive, years after the fact, to the foundation of the International Maritime Organization.

STCW

STCW instructional classes, otherwise called the Ship preparing, accreditation and watch keeping courses are one of the essential necessities for any individual to qualify as a sailor. A sailor must be all around prepared in STCW courses before it tends to be esteemed safe for him to be out on high waters. 

Given by International Maritime Organization, this specific expansion was made to the principles overseeing sailors and their preparation for an oceanic vocation in 1978. From that point forward, STCW preparing affirmation is a need for sailors before they can be considered completely able to deal with hazards associated with a vocation adrift.

MARPOL

Just like SOLAS, which regulates the shipping industry to follow minimum standards to safeguard life at sea, MARPOL is another important convention which safeguards the marine environment against ship pollution. MAPOL and SOLAS are considered to be two effective safety and environmental protection tools of IMO.

MARPOL 73/78, since it came into power in 1973 and later updated by the convention in 1978, guarantees that transportation remains the least earth harming methods of transport. It obviously features the focuses to guarantee that the marine condition is protected by the end of contamination by all destructive substance which can be released from the boat.

They are as follow ;

Annex I:  Regulation for prevention of pollution by oil (October 1983).

Annex II: Regulations for control of pollution by Noxious Liquid Substance in bulk (April 1987).

Annex III: Regulation for prevention of pollution by harmful substance carried at sea in packaged form (July 1992).

Annex IV: Regulation for prevention of pollution by sewage from ships (Sep 2003).

Annex V: Regulation for prevention of pollution by Garbage from ships (Dec 1998).

Annex VI: Regulation for prevention of Air pollution from ships (May 2005).

MLC

Oceanic Labor Convention (MLC), as indicated by the ILO or International Labor Organization, gives an expansive viewpoint to the sailor's privileges and stronghold at work. The sea guideline will at long last go into power on August twentieth, 2013. About 1.2 million sailors will be influenced by the terms and states of this basic liberties act, which will set out a lot of guidelines for insurance at work, day to day environments, business, wellbeing, government managed retirement and comparable related issues. 

Based on Maritime Labor Convention (MLC), the Seafarer's Employment Contracts will be actualized and commanded against invalidating the current business contracts. MLC will be like the other legal confirmations, for example, ISM and ISPS installed ships and the testament will have 5 years of legitimacy with break, introductory and transitional reviews. It is basic for all sailors to comprehend the significance of Maritime Labor Convention (MLC), 2006.

Reinforce a positive outlook.

Grin. The primary thing you ought to do when confronted with a troublesome issue is to begin with an inspirational standpoint. Now and again our first response is to fear vulnerability. That is quite regular. In any case, I've understood throughout the long term the obscure has given us, as people, the interest to attempt new things and focus on the stars. Try not to fear the difficult itself. Take a gander at it as a chance to gain some new useful knowledge and to test your capacity and mind. That isn't anything but difficult to do with cutoff times and weight, yet keeping an inspirational standpoint will go far toward making each issue somewhat less overwhelming.

Ask question to understand the problem

I recall numerous courses where my schoolmates sat in class astounded. We didn't comprehend a significant point during the talk, yet no one posed a solitary inquiry. Why? A great deal of it has to do with the dread of looking moronic. More often than not I discover individuals do have similar inquiries as I do, however for reasons unknown are too hesitant to even consider asking them. Notwithstanding, before you can take care of a difficult you should initially get it. On the off chance that there's something you don't comprehend, ask the same number of inquiries as you need. Try not to feel modest. You are not moronic. There are no idiotic inquiries, just those you don't yet have a response for.

 

 Be open minded

An old saying goes, “If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail.” The way you have done things in the past may not always work for all situations. A hammer may be good for prying nails out of wood and plunging them into wood, but you should not use a hammer to pickup leaves or to unscrew a rusty bolt. There are better tools for these things. In life, I find there are often many solutions to a given problem. Some are more effective than others. Some are more appropriate than others. When faced with a difficult problem, do not assume you know the answer from the start. Don't jump to conclusions. Stop for a second and take time to understand what the problem or question is truly about before applying a solution or answer. Be open to all possibilities. Do not presume everything is a nail.

Take bit sized-chunk

Would you eat a whole pizza in one mouthful? Probably not. Along these lines, a few issues are essentially too enormous to bite at the same time. A valuable method for taking care of complex issues is penetrating down into the detail and proceeding until each piece gets reasonable. When you have a lot of reasonable pieces, settle each independently. At the point when a given issue is broken into reduced down pieces, it is simpler to see the examples, indications, instruments, and procedures to apply and the moves that need to make place.

How to deal with difficult situations

 One day everything seems great in your world—maybe not perfect, but overall things are going to plan. And then something happens.

You lose your job, or someone you love, or your home, or maybe even your health.

It isn’t fair. You don’t deserve it. You didn’t see it coming. You didn’t plan for it. You have so many feelings and frustrations you don’t know what to do first, or if you want to do anything at all.

It would be easier to sit around feeling bad, looking for people to blame and complain to, rehashing what you could have done to make things happen differently. Or what you would have done if you only realized before. Or what other people should have done to help you.

All great options if you want to maximize your misery and feel justified in doing it. Not so great if what you want is to deal and move on.

You have to do this eventually when something bad happens, and the faster you do it, the sooner you’ll improve your situation.

There is no shortage of opportunities to practice dealing well. If you’d like to work on improving the 90 percent of life that is how you respond, you may find these tips helpful:

1. Make acceptance an immediate priority.

Dealing with a bad situation can be a lot like dealing with grief, and people often go through the same stages: shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, and so on.

You might not be able to fully squelch your emotions, but you can decide to accept what’s happened, regardless of how you feel about it. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can act from where you are, which is the only way to change how you feel.

It’s like the quote from a recent post on getting started when you don’t feel ready: “Don’t wait for your feelings to change to take action. Take the action and your feelings will change.”

2. Remove “fair” from your vocabulary.

As kids, we’re all about fair. “He took my train—it’s not fair.” “You said you’d buy me a new bike—it’s not fair!” “I had that crayon first—it’s not fair.”

You’d think we’d learn early on that life isn’t fair, but instead we cling to how we think things should be. Hard work should be rewarded. Kindness should be reciprocated. When things don’t work out that way, we feel angry at the world and bad for ourselves.

Feeling outraged about life’s injustices won’t change the fact that things are often random and beyond your control. When you start going on an unfair spiral, remind yourself, “It is what it is.” And then choose a reaction that aligns with the way you’d like the world to be.

3. Focus on the life lesson.

In Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson recommends pretending that everyone is enlightened but you—that everyone you meet is here to teach you something.

In this way, you’ll see someone who annoys or frustrates you as an opportunity to work on your patience. This same mindset can help improve the way you interpret and respond to events in your life.

If you lost your job, perhaps the life lesson is to determine your true purpose. If your relationship falls apart, the life lesson may be to become more independent. Focusing on the lesson allows you to work on positive change, which will make you feel empowered instead of deflated.

4. Question whether it’s as big a problem as it seems.

We often turn minor upsets into huge catastrophes in our minds. Little in life is as horrible as it appears to be at first. Some things are challenging, like losing your job, your home, or worse, someone you love. But most situations can be solved.

Sometimes they’re even blessings in disguise. Barbara Rommer, M.D. interviewed 300 people who’d had near-death experiences. The majority of her subjects experienced spiritual awakenings, proving that what didn’t kill them only made them stronger.

Whatever you’re dealing with, is it really the end of the world? And more importantly, if you bounced back with an even better situation—a higher paying job or a more satisfying relationship—how impressed would you be with yourself?

5. Make “Get strong” your mantra.

You may think Kanye West doesn’t have a place in tinybuddha world, but the dude got one thing right: “N-n-now that which don’t kill me can only make me stronger.”

This idea has saved me many times over. At twenty-one, I spent four months hospitalized with a serious illness and missed my college graduation. So much felt unfair about how it all panned out.

Then I remembered what my friend Rich had told me: “I know you feel powerless right now, but you’re going to rock the world when you get strong.” Whenever I deal with adversity, I remind myself to keep rocking.

6. Remember you can continue from this new place.

It’s easy to get attached to the road you’re on, especially if it makes you happy. When something or someone throws you off, you may feel disconnected from who you want to be or what you want to do in life.

It may help to remember a hurdle doesn’t have to obliterate your plans. Even if you lose your job, you can still pursue your professional goals, and maybe even more efficiently.

There is always more than one way to address a problem. The sooner you focus on finding a new way, the sooner you’ll turn a bad thing good.

7. Ask yourself how someone you respect would handle the situation.

I recently put my heart into a blogging competition. I had to get votes from the public to win, and I ran a huge campaign to accomplish that. I ended in second place with just over 57,000 votes.

When I didn’t win, I felt disappointed and even a little embarrassed. I’d failed in front of thousands of people. My best wasn’t good enough.

So I asked myself how someone with integrity would handle the situation. The answer: She’d congratulate the winner, identify everything she learned from the experience, and move on to the next goal with her head held high. Acting on that advice made me feel proud of myself instead of disappointed.

—

People will remember the things you accomplish, but the way you handle life’s challenges can affect them just as strongly. Life happens, and it isn’t always easy. You can bemoan it and fight it, or see dealing with life’s challenges as the most important challenge of all.

You can’t always get what you want, but you can work at being who you want to be no matter what life throws at you.

Global Maritime Regulatory System

The maritime industry’s most important concerns are the safety of personnel and prevention of marine pollution for smooth cargo transportation and marine operation at high seas. To achieve this, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) relies on its four very strong pillars: SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW and MLC.

SOLAS

The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) is an international maritime treaty which sets minimum safety standards in the construction, equipment and operation of merchant ships. The convention requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with at least these standards.

The current version of SOLAS is the 1974 version, known as SOLAS 1974, which came into force on 25 May 1980. As of November 2018, SOLAS 1974 had 164 contracting states, which flag about 99% of merchant ships around the world in terms of gross tonnage.^[1]

SOLAS in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships.

Chapter I – General Provisions

Surveying the various types of ships and certifying that they meet the requirements of the convention.

Chapter II-1 – Construction – Subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations

The subdivision of passenger ships into watertight compartments so that after damage to its hull, a vessel will remain afloat and stable.

Chapter II-2 – Fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction

Fire safety provisions for all ships with detailed measures for passenger ships, cargo ships and tanker.

Chapter III – Life-saving appliances and arrangements

Life-saving appliances and arrangements, including requirements for life boats, rescue boats and life jackets according to type of ship. The specific technical requirements are given in the International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code.

Chapter IV – Radiocommunications

The Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) requires passenger and cargo ships on international voyages to carry radio equipment, including satellite Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and Search and Rescue Transponders (SARTs).

Chapter V – Safety of navigation

This chapter requires governments to ensure that all vessels are sufficiently and efficiently manned from a safety point of view. It places requirements on all vessels regarding voyage and passage planning, expecting a careful assessment of any proposed voyages by all who put to sea. Every mariner must take account of all potential dangers to navigation, weather forecasts, tidal predictions, the competence of the crew, and all other relevant factors. It also adds an obligation for all vessels' masters to offer assistance to those in distress and controls the use of lifesaving signals with specific requirements regarding danger and distress messages. It is different from the other chapters, which apply to certain classes of commercial shipping, in that these requirements apply to all vessels and their crews, including yachts and private craft, on all voyages and trips including local ones.

Chapter VI – Carriage of Cargoes

Requirements for the stowage and securing of all types of cargo and cargo containers except liquids and gases in bulk.

Chapter VII – Carriage of dangerous goods

Requires the carriage of all kinds of dangerous goods to be in compliance with the International Bulk Chemical Code (IBC Code), The International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).

Chapter VIII – Nuclear ships

Nuclear powered ships are required, particularly concerning radiation hazards, to conform to the Code of Safety for Nuclear Merchant Ships.

Chapter IX – Management for the Safe Operation of Ships

Requires every shipowner and any person or company that has assumed responsibility for a ship to comply with the International Safety Management Code (ISM).

Chapter X – Safety measures for high-speed craft

Makes mandatory the International Code of Safety for High-speed craft (HSC Code).

Chapter XI-1 – Special measures to enhance maritime Safety

Requirements relating to organizations responsible for carrying out surveys and inspections, enhanced surveys, the ship identification number scheme, and operational requirements.

Chapter XI-2 – Special measures to enhance maritime security

Includes the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code). Confirms that the role of the Master in maintaining the security of the ship is not, and cannot be, constrained by the Company, the charterer or any other person. Port facilities must carry out security assessments and develop, implement and review port facility security plans. Controls the delay, detention, restriction, or expulsion of a ship from a port. Requires that ships must have a ship security alert system, as well as detailing other measures and requirements.

Chapter XII – Additional safety measures for bulk carriers

Specific structural requirements for bulk carriers over 150 metres in length.

Chapter XIII - Verification of compliance

Makes mandatory from 1 January 2016 the IMO Member State Audit Scheme.

Chapter XIV - Safety measures for ships operating in polar waters

The chapter makes mandatory, from 1 January 2017, the Introduction and part I-A of the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (the Polar Code)

GLOBAL MARITIME REGULATORY SYSTEM

Commercial marine shipping is inherently an international activity. As such, the industry requires regulation at the international level. International maritime regulations, also known as conventions, are developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

The IMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for measures to improve the safety and security of international shipping and to prevent pollution from ships. The IMO is currently focused on trying to ensure that adopted conventions are properly implemented by signatory countries, including Canada. These signatory countries are then responsible for implementing and enforcing international conventions as their own national law.
The leading conventions developed by IMO are:
SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea), 1974: Concerns the safety of merchant ships. SOLAS regulations specify minimum standards for the construction, equipment and operation of ships.
International Convention on Load Lines, 1966: Limits the draught to which a ship may be loaded, taking into account the potential hazards present in different zones and different seasons for the crew’s safety.
Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), 1972: States the rules for navigating and preventing collisions at sea (vessel conduct, signals, etc.)
International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978: Establishes basic requirements for training and certifying seafarers.
International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), 1973, 1978: Concerns prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships. The latest regulation under the revised MARPOL Annex VI – called IMO 2020 – took effect on January 1, 2020 to limit the amount of sulphur permitted in commercial ship fuel to 0.5% for ships operating worldwide.

HOW DO I DO WHEN FACING A PROBLEM

HOW DO I DO WHEN FACING A PROBLEM

Maybe now you are facing the pressures of learning, life challenges, work difficulties. How are we going to deal with them? In our life we have to deal with these learning and work and other aspects of the problem.
So how do we face it?

We will encounter these problems in life and in study and work, in the face of many setbacks and difficulties, when we face these setbacks and difficulties, we can only have a bright future. So when we face these, we can not be afraid of them, we should find ways to solve these difficulties and setbacks, to meet this challenge.

(Google Image: https://www.google.com.my/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifeoptimizer.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F02%2Fovercoming-challenges-1.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifeoptimizer.org%2F2015%2F02%2F17%2Fovercoming-challenges%2F&tbnid=3ShWe_2xsZvGeM&vet=12ahUKEwjQueuq0qbrAhXWcX0KHQnCBncQMygKegUIARC2AQ..i&docid=FQsHQMVDh71RtM&w=900&h=602&q=face%20life%20challenge%20pic&ved=2ahUKEwjQueuq0qbrAhXWcX0KHQnCBncQMygKegUIARC2AQ )

But many people tend to back down when faced with these problems.

May fall into the abyss of this, only we face the courage to face against the current, can solve it, overcome it, in order to achieve our ultimate success. One of the keys to success is to experience setbacks, because we may be happy in a superior environment, in a superior environment, often paralysed by the appearance, not to see the potential crisis. In a good environment, we only have a sense of crisis all the time, living in peace and security can constantly encourage themselves, continuous learning, continuous progress, continuous reform, so that we are currently facing difficulties can be resolved. At the same time, we must be strong in adversity, because usually these experiences will hone people, in which we can constantly think about our lives, thinking about our future, but also consider why they fall into such a situation. This will enrich our physical and mental, and then in adversity we constantly hone our will, and constantly sum up experience, which for our future success has laid a solid foundation.

(Google Image: https://www.google.com.my/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwriteupreviews.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F06%2Fshutterstock_171542741.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwriteupreviews.com%2Fblog%2F5-benefits-of-climbing-and-why-you-should-start-today-2%2F&tbnid=iOm0Y8uChKByqM&vet=12ahUKEwi7kYGf06brAhW0n0sFHZ-CAKYQMygLegUIARC_AQ..i&docid=X13qVMZT7OaevM&w=1000&h=640&q=climb%20clif%20pic&ved=2ahUKEwi7kYGf06brAhW0n0sFHZ-CAKYQMygLegUIARC_AQ )

So when we are in the midst of adversity, we should dare to think and do more summary, and constantly reflect. So we have to face these difficulties positively when we are young, so that we can learn to provide some experience to help our future work in this adversity. This is helpful to current students because they are still in the school this greenhouse after all, it is necessary to seize in this good environment to accept the challenge of continuous improvement. For those who are just starting to work, because they are still young to take advantage of the young and constantly learn to meet difficulties, in order to prepare for future success.
The scourge of the husband is often accumulated in the light, the wise and brave are more trapped in the drowning. We should constantly cultivate our awareness, to face adversity and difficulties of determination and perseverance, the courage to solve difficulties but also serious thinking, come up with solutions to difficulties, and constantly sum up the learning experience can be successful.
So hope that now the young people more face difficulties, once failed twice, sum up the reasons for the failure, sum up the reflection of the failure experience, continuous improvement we will continue to improve, the right direction of the road, coupled with their own efforts to the results can not be poor! When we next face and face difficulties and setbacks, we should feel relieved, because it is these difficulties to hone and improve our minds to make us more mature, we have to take advantage of this exercise opportunity to sum up and improve ourselves, in order to provide rich experience and experience in the future work and learning.

When faced with difficulties and setbacks must not have the mind to back down, because only we have the courage to face the difficult situation. If we are afraid to retreat and only get bogged down, we will fall flat.
In the face of difficulties we are indomitable, the future is brighter and better.
