Question

Roll with the Punches to adjust to a difficult situation; to not let little annoyances bother you, in order to survive

Accepted Answer

Try not to be too discouraged with your new job. Just roll with the punches awhile. Every good boxer knows how to take evasive action to avoid the full force of an opponent's blow: He rolls with the punches. If he can't duck the blow entirely, he shifts his body and moves it in the direction of the punch to soften the impact. This boxing lesson can be applied to any situation in life.
