When you meet difficulties, you need to try your best to find ways to solve the problems. I believe in most cases there is always a way if you try hard enough. For example, when I was first in the new school, I found it extremely hard to give an efficient class because the students’ level were so low and their attitude were so bad. Some students even gave up studying. At first, I nearly gave up and thought it was not my responsibility and I couldn’t change them only by myself. Anyway I would leave there in a year. But one day when I read that we should take responsibility for everything that happens in our life and we can do something to make it better. I changed my idea. I showed high expectations for them and made strict rules for them. In the mean time I have enough patience to wait for them to change under my guidance. Now I am happy most of them have made great progress and are willing to make great efforts to learn.

But one day, I read that we should take responsibility for everything that happens in our lives and we can do something to improve it. I changed my approach (or mindset). I now maintain high expectations and strict rules for my students. And in the meantime (while they adjust to this new standard), I have enough patience to wait for them to change under my guidance. Now I am happy: most of them have made great progress and are willing to make great efforts to learn.
