What s your approach to problem-solving and how does it work for you? Give examples to support your response.

Depending on the problem to solve, I would use different strategies to deal with it. If it is an emotional problem, I would be patient and friendly, whereas if it is a working one, I would behave aggressively and focus.
On the one hand, I think that family and friends are the key factors that make a person entirely happy. From my point of view, if you lack them, you will feel devastated. For those reasons, when I have personal problems, I always tried to solve them with patience and love whatever it is my fault or not. One example that comes to mind is when my sister got angry because I told my parents that she had failed three out of four requirement courses. Although she was behaving selfish and childish, I begged her to apologize me. First, because it was her business. Second, because I suffered a lot those days when she did not even talk to me.
On the other hand, when I have a job problem, I did not suffer at all for it because I appreciate more my own happiness than my working life. So, the attitude that I adopt is to be aggressive and focus. For instance, I had an argument with my boss last week. She judged me to be a lazy and irresponsible worker. I did not feel devastated at all, because I am not this sort of things. But, I felt angry. I fiercely blamed her for everything she told me. She felt so badly that she had to beg me to stay in her working group. I did not care whether she was suffering or not because of my speech. I was just concerned about my own satisfaction.
All in all, I always try to solve my personal problems urgently with patient and love but I solve my working problems aggressively without taking care about the other´s feelings.
