“No man can expect to find a friend without faults; nor can he propose himself to be so to another. Without reciprocal mildness and temperance there can be no continuance of friendship. Every man will have something to do for his friend, and something to bear with in him. The sober man only can do the first; and for the latter, patience is requisite. It is better for a man to depend on himself, than to be annoyed with either a madman or a fool.” MenFirstsCan DoFoolDependsFriendsBearsFaultsEvery ManLatterSoberProposeAnnoyedMadmenTemperanceReciprocalContinuanceMildness Author:Owen Feltham
“Once you develop confidence in your own ability, you'll be able to make a real contribution to creating a better world. Self-confidence is very important. Not in the sense of blind pride, but as a realistic awareness of what you can do. As human beings we can transform ourselves by our good qualities and reducing our faults. Our intelligence enables us to judge what is good from what is harmful.” WorldHumansImportantRealSelfAbleCan DoHuman BeingsAbilityQualityAwarenessJudgingPrideConfidenceCreatingBlindFaultsIntelligenceGoodSelf ConfidenceContributionRealisticReducingGood QualitySelf TransformationSelf Efficacy Author:Dalai Lama
