To the point
clear drops cut short!
Patience is not silence, but speaking
and acting at the
right time
with a calm mind, in a correct, polite, gentle and harmless way.
Generosity is not giving everything you have
away, or spending
all of your time for the benefit of others, but not keeping
your mind hanging onto what you temporarily have on
loan..
Compassion is not putting yourself into
more trouble,
but lifting others out of their trouble...
