The way to survive highly charged situations in life is by not letting oneself be inwardly affected by one’s outward situation; by suppressing one’s emotions and keeping one’s feelings under control.
A man of principle and character is always just. This predictability of character is maintained even when he has cause for complaint; when he has been treated unjustly by others.
Human pursuits fall into two categories: worthy and unworthy. A worthy pursuit is one which leads to positive results and an unworthy pursuit is one which leads to no result at all.
Healthy difference, inviting discussion and dialogue and intellectual exchange, leads to development, while a ‘no difference’ situation leads to stagnation.
If you commit an evil deed, do not fall into despair, but re-plan your life along better lines and surely you will be a success.
If your bad deed motivates you to do a good deed, then in terms of its result, it is a good rather than a bad occurrence.
If your mistake gives you a positive lesson, then it is an experience rather than a mistake.
The best way to make amends is to do a good deed whenever you commit a bad deed.
Anyone who wants to live on this planet as an honest person or as a man of character must keep a guard upon his conscience or moral sensitivity.
Moral character requires some incentive, for without that incentive no one is going to uphold moral values.
