Passage 12

In English

The next quality is endurance or forbearance. At a time when someone makes fun of you or abuses you in harsh words, you should not lose your cool. You should remain peaceful. Instead of becoming angry, you must first search for whether there was any mistake on your side. As long as you are on the right path, why should you get agitated? But if you find some mistake in yourself, you must try to correct yourself instead of brooding over those harsh words. In any case, there is no need for worry or agitation. This kind of peaceful attitude takes you to great heights in life. If, on the contrary, you retaliate, it means that you are committing the same mistake as the other one did. Then you lose the right to point out other’s mistakes. When you decide upon succeeding in life, you must definitely cultivate the quality of patience and the attitude of peace, whereupon you will be able to bear the difficulties of life smilingly. Life is a challenge. Meet it, but don’t run away from it in fear.
