Patience and art of not taking things personally

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will avoid one hundred days of sorrow.”
- old chinese proverb

"The recipe for frustration is taking on something that requires a whole person, but only giving it half your time.

Look at what you're trying to do. What is required? Some things can only be done well when they are pursued with full effort."


"It's hard to learn when you feel defensive.

Relax. You are capable and you can recover from whatever you face.

You can accept feedback without taking it personally. What is this moment teaching you?"


"All the water in the world cannot sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. All the negativity in the world cannot sink a person unless it gets inside the mind."

"The secret of being happy consists of knowing how to enjoy yourself—enjoy being at table, in bed, enjoy standing up, sitting down, enjoy the nearest ray of sunshine, the slightest bit of landscape: in other words, love everything."



Psychologist and author Adam Grant shares a question for sparking better conversation...

"When you meet someone new, don't ask: What do you do? It limits what people share about themselves to a job description.

Instead, try: What do you love to do? It ignites curiosity and invites people to express their distinctive interests."
