Safe Harbour On Both Sides
English book, p. 292

Now imagine—what if he had responded with anger? He would have made the situation worse. The driver would have dug in his heels and refused even more stubbornly. But by replying to the insult with calmness, he softened the other man’s heart—and turned the situation in his favour. The Zarathustra once said: “Doing good is not a duty, it is a benefit—because doing good adds to your own happiness.” That is the truth: By responding to bad behaviour with goodness, you benefit yourself first. And this is the secret of success. Whether in speech, in action, or in attitude, your success often depends not on what others do, but on how you respond. After the Leg Was Broken “The one who can make a firm resolve—nothing is impossible for him.” This saying of Emerson reveals a profound truth of life: In this world, the possibilities for a human being are endless. If a person possesses true determination, they can turn every difficulty into ease. Every obstacle becomes a stepping stone on the path to success. Possibility never ends. This is not just an idea—it is a reality. Human history is replete with examples that prove this truth. Here, we present a real and inspiring example from recent times.
