I’ve heard misery loves company but this is ridiculous.

Supposedly, there’s a new fad in London called “misery” clubs. Visitors grab a bowl of chopped onions to help them start crying about whatever’s bothering them in life. This is no joke.

The trend started in Japan where businessmen rent rooms by the hour to watch sad movies or pay money to attend group cry-athons and “tear therapy” meetings. It’s all part of the belief that crying is somehow therapeutic.

But I think it’s pretty stupid. If you have a problem - whether it’s in business or in your personal life -- then solve it. Figure out the best plan of action to resolve whatever issue has become a stumbling block for you. Then do it.

There are way too many people who are stopped dead in their tracks by obstacles. Instead of looking at them as challenges, they resign themselves to defeat. And that means failure which shouldn’t be in anyone’s repertoire.

So my advice? If you have a problem, fix it. Don’t pay someone to go sit in a room somewhere to sniff onions and cry about it.
