Safe Harbour On Both Sides

English book, p. 333

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Etiquettes of Progress this freedom. That freedom has been given by the Creator, and no one can take away what the Creator has granted. So what should we do? We must act wisely, protect ourselves from harm, and focus on creating and seizing constructive opportunities. This means: • Avoiding unnecessary confrontations. • Bearing minor losses with patience. • Not getting provoked by provocations. • Relying on your own strength rather than blaming others. • Focusing on opportunities instead of being stuck in problems. This is the only real method for success in this world of trial. There is no other path to progress. Wise strategy is the solution to every problem. Wise strategy protects us from every loss. Let wise strategy become your guiding principle—and you will live a life free of complaints and filled with progress. All India Radio, New Delhi, 17 December 1993.
