Inner wealth
consists of modesty, balance,
understanding, and compassion for others.
When you have achieved this, your
outer fortune will be
unlimited.

The reason you
do not understand is just
because you are taken away by random
thoughts twenty-four hours a day. Since you
want to learn business, you fall in love with things
you see and fondly pursue things you read;
over time, you get continuously involved.
How can you manage to work on
enlightenment then?
When you are not
afraid to forget who you are,
life in the kitchen, or life in the office,
might contain huge and overwhelming happiness.
Everything you look at, the door, the walls meeting in the
corner of the room, the light shining on the cell phone, might be
so alive that it looks back. Other people might not be who you
thought they were. Family members might be as fresh
and surprising as strangers. And you, whom you
have only apparently known all your life,
might be fresh and surprising
to yourself too.
Restrain your speech.
An active tongue betrays a restless
mind. Tranquility on every
level is advised.

Can what happened to you
stop you from being fair, high-minded,
moderate, conscientious, unhasty, honest, moral,
self-reliant, and so on — from possessing all the qualities that,
when present, enable a man’s nature to be fulfilled? So then,
whenever something happens that might cause you
distress, remember to rely on this principle:
this is not bad luck, but bearing it
valiantly is good luck.
