The first is gentleness;
the second is frugality;

avoid putting yourself before others
and you can become a leader among men.

without losing it's light.

and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.

They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.

Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
