The Quiet Power of Restraint

In dealing with people as you rarely get any ideally, it should be less of the talking, controlling the tongue, making very little attempt at it, and being very caring and soft with people. Try not to brag, particularly when coming from a personal inferiority complex.

Do not have to remind the world what was done in the past to try and get people’s sympathy. Unintended behavior is even more appealing and tells a lot more than what you can say with your mouth wide open. Think about times when talking has gone overboard; can you think about a time when it did not cause any sorry?

It's about being happy and growing as human beings rather than running after other people’s approval or physical possessions. We should work to live for the things that we want to do not for others to find us doing so. When other people despise us abuse us or say nasty things about us, it certainly is their business, not ours.

If you find yourself tolerating somebody you Don’t have to surrender in front of, then there is no reason to be subordinate. Your weakness will only bring contempt. Sensitiveness and shame kill; sanity, callus, and selfishness are the means of survival.

Do not maintain any kind of elevated perceptions about human nature. It's often unreliable.
