An old man sat outside his shop every evening.
One day, a young man asked him
How did you become so calm?
The old man smiled and said
I stopped expecting people to be who I wanted them to be.
I started accepting them for who they chose to be.
The young man was silent for a moment.
Sometimes, peace doesn’t come from changing people.
It comes from changing your expectations.
Life keeps teaching.
A teacher wrote the number 99 on the board.
Then she placed a tiny dot beside it.
The entire class asked about the dot.
No one mentioned the 99.
She smiled and said,
That’s how life works.
People often ignore all the good you’ve done and focus on one mistake.
Think about it.
