Once I was addressing a group. According to the information I had, this group was involved in an unhealthy practice. I advised them to abandon this practice. A member of that group reacted to it and said: "Aap to naraz ho gaye." (You became angry). I said: "I have not become angry, rather I have only pointed out an unwanted practice that you are engaged in. Anger is a negative response from someone.

According to a Hadith report, the Prophet said: "Whoever amongst you wakes up, secure in his home, healthy in his body, having food for the day, then it is as if he has possession of the entire world."

This Hadith tells us that we should learn to be content with whatever material possessions we have so that we can do the maximum possible as far as religious matters are concerned.

Self-confidence is an important attribute. You need to trust yourself. You need to have the necessary determination to do the task you have set for yourself. You need to have the confidence to plan your course of action, without hesitation and keeping in mind the available opportunities. You need to be able to discover what opportunities exist and act accordingly. All these are related to self-confidence. You need self-confidence to be successful in any and every sphere of life.
