How to handle tough times ?

Time changes every time we have to be very sure that what where we do has some profits and worth for us for someone related to us. Recently i met a old friend of mine who was in very good situation and with a proper job before few years.He did the worst thing by investing by all his earnings in the stock market all of us are aware that in the recent past the world became to a standstill with the recession hitting each and every industry. I proposed a solution for him so that he could recover from the losses that he has incurred due to the blunder that he has done. The solution is that earn using part time jobs and invest in various fields like direct deposit , life insurance and other secured investment. By doing these kind of stuffs it is easy for one to recover from the pain and loss in a short time of span. There are many other way to recover from these kind of situations but we have to be sure that we are fit physically and mentally to handle these kind of worst situations in our life . One has to understand that life is all about ups and downs ,everyone must face downs to get appraisals in the near future. Once this philosophic thought gets into our mind we can handle any kind of troubles from anyone and anything with bravery and confidence . It is not just for financial crisis it applies for everything in our life.
