The Importance of Self-Respect

If you ever find yourself in a position of power, remember this and check yourself. Do not view anything as beneficial which causes you to break a promise or hate anyone. When rouse to anger, remember that there's nothing manly about giving in to emotion. It's courtesy and kindness that define a human being and a man. He who possesses these qualities possesses strength, nerves and courage. If something bad happens, just say, good, what new opportunities does this open up? You can go one step further and ask how your interpretation of it can even benefit you. What stands in the way becomes the way.
