Friends,

If you are stuck up in unpleasant situation, almost every one except very near or dear people will not believe in you come what may. They may on face agree but in the hindsight their opinion will be opposite to you. The situations come and go but it will teach you about the i) persons around you, ii) self-confidence and  most importantly iii) what not to do in future.

Unpleasant situations are always best teacher to show mirror and open the eyes. Those who have faith in themselves will succeed and learn the lessons. Such persons will achive new heights. However, some people may get scared and run away. In such case the learning gets waste and situation turns into pain. 

Hence in my opinion, Patience , faith and self confidence are key to handle any situation. Once you are out of the situation, self analysis, motivation and confidence will play a major role in deciding the direction.
