10 Pearls of Wisdom
1. Grant favor and be considerate of your enemy, because you will thus gain either one or the other of the two kinds of victories; one rising above your enemy; the other, reducing the intensity of his enmity.
2. Do not disappoint a person who holds a good opinion of you, and do not make him change his opinion of you.
3. Do not run after the one who tries to avoid you.
4. Do not get too worried and depressed over oppressions and cruelties, because whoever oppresses you is in reality harming himself.
5. The greatest achievement of your character is that the enmity of your brother against you dare not overcome the consideration and friendship you feel toward him, and his ill-treatment of you cannot over balance your kind treatment to him.
6. Do not be like the people on whom advice has no effect and who require punishment to correct themselves.
7. A true friend is one who speaks well of you even behind your back-------- -be a true friend.
8. He who wants to retain his prestige and position through contentment and honesty, will find them lasting assets.
9. Weaknesses and shortcomings are not the things to talk about.
10. Do not introduce ridiculous topics in your talk even if you have to repeat sayings of others.

Handle insult and Maintain compassion
The Mulla explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion.
One day a Mulla (Islamic Religious Scholar) was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. " You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."
The Mulla was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?" The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift." The Mulla smiled and said, " That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself." "If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."
The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Mulla. "You are right, o Enlightened One, "he said. "Please teach me the path of love. I wish to become a true follower." The Mulla answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to learn. Come with me."

Power Of Words
Power of words
'Better than a thousand hallow words, is one word that brings peace' Buddha
Words can be descriptive, simple, annoying or enjoying. It is the different words that we use to describe something or someone which helps change the perception of people around you. It is the use of different words which affects or creates a change in a persons thinking around you. No matter how hard an individuals exterior may appear and no matter how good a person is able to conceal his emotions, even the hardest of persons experience pain because of words.
Words are incredibly powerful. Words are so powerful that they can be used as weapons or bring great joy - it just depends on how they are delivered. We often underestimate the power our words have on others. We say things without thinking how it will affect someone else and can end up hurting them when we did not intend to. There are other times when we purposely say things with the intent to hurt somone, usually because we ourselves are hurt. Choice of words creates impression. Impression about the person that utters those words. Selection of spiteful words speaks volumes of the personality and attitude of the person. Passing comments on people can hinder the growth potential and mar someone's incentive and motivation forever. So it is important to use appropriate words with a proper approach at the right time.
The old cliche "think before you speak" holds a lot of truth. You can choose to speak wisely and know that you've made someone's light shine and in turn they will pass that gift on to someone else. Or you can choose to use your words as weapons. Words are a means of learning thoughts while thoughts a means of learning life. I believe, words are a form of action, capable of influencing the biggest of change. Now it all depends upon you what words you speak.
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
