People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked
while others have idled, have perservered while others gave up in despair,
and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial,

the success often erroneously attributed to good luck.

unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away
from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the
end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,
and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for
him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
