The secret of Character...

Receiving kindness from others only makes the recipient expect more.

He keeps saying, “He is doing this for his own benefit; he is not considering me; he is blaming me; he did not help me; he did not deal fairly with me.”

His life becomes full of grudges because he expects from everybody all the good that he wants, and he does not know that he ought to have it all in himself,

that he should become independent.

Therein lies the secret of character.
