We may encounter various setbacks (挫折) in our life and these setbacks  may never repeat themselves. They appear differently in different periods of life.
   Students may have problems in learning, for example, the goal and motivation of learning, the method and attitude of study, and their school performances as well. If they fail to deal with these matters properly, they may have problems in study and even develop psychological problems.

Job-hunting, career choosing, capability and unemployment are matters often leading to

psychological problems of the contemporaries (当代人). How to choose a career, how to make a plan for life and how to keep competence in position and for promotion, etc., these are all factors to bring us worries and anxieties.
   Interpersonal relationship leads to one of the major psychological setbacks of the human being. The symptoms show that it is hard to get along with others, lacking necessary skills to communicate with others. These may lead to sad feelings of loneliness, bitterness, short of concerns and cares.
   The old often suffer from supersession of the old by the new, stepping down from leading positions, retirement, being isolated and helpless. How to look at these rules of law in life, get used to the change, handle domestic emptiness when children grow up and the bitterness facing death of the beloved, all these have to be dealt with properly, to avoid the development of depression and disease.
   Now, it comes to the key — how to handle them. 

Keeping a good mood:

Do not make your ambitions too high and never seek for perfection when doing things.

Do not expect too much from others. Otherwise, you will be disappointed if she/he fails to meet your expectation.

When angry, you’d better calm yourself so as to avoid doing something stupid.

Be tolerating and forgiving. Toleration and forgiveness can either smooth your own mood or benefit interpersonal relationship.

When you encounter setbacks you’d better leave it alone and begin to do something you like, for example, go to the theater or take exercise, etc.

You may ease yourself by telling your unhappiness to your good friends, parents, teachers or even making a telephone call to psychological hotlines.

Do something good for others. In this way, you will not only forget your worries but also find your own value and at the same time make friends with others.

To evaluate your ability and role properly, thus you will not develop unnecessary psychological pressure on yourself.
