It is not ease but effort, not facility but difficulty that makes a man.

A person with no sense of commitment is only living on the fringes of existence. He is out of touch with reality and will soon lapse into utter degeneracy. No really superior being has ever been found among the ranks of the idle. As the old saying goes, the Devil finds work for idle hands.

To complain about things is a fruitless exercise. If one wants to complain, one is sure to find plenty to complain about in life. The wise way is to forget the unpleasant things which are a part and parcel of life, bury grudges, and carry on seeking to fulfill one’s true purpose in life.

Just as it is wrong to delay, it is equally wrong to be in too much of a hurry. All work can be completed in due course. In the world of God, where every event has its allotted time, both extremes are doomed to failure.
