2. Life goes on
1. Goodness will make you a good philosopher. Accepting that you are good makes you feel less vulnerable, and it's no harder to defend a quality than a vice or a fault - you just have to be careful. Here are a few points to ponder:
2. Start life anew every 24 hours by doing your best.
3. Give a warm or friendly welcome today to the person who is just passing through your life and whom you may never see again.
4. That your work, in keeping with your talents and strengths, brings you closer to others and gives you a certain satisfaction.
5. May your tolerance be the guide to your friendships.
6. Cultivate joy and a smile. They are your light, the light that serves you and attracts the attention of others. A smile radiates from your face, giving a glow to the people and things around you. Full-faced smiles convey your joy to others, without diminishing your own.
7. Make plans, create projects. Plans are dreams that you make real, to which you give a body, a soul, a life.
8. If you want to go far, reduce the weight of your luggage. Make do with what you need for today.
Accepting others unconditionally is an open door, which makes it easier to welcome one another.
