(1) When things aren't going your way, what is the best way to keep a positive attitude?
(2) How can we deal with the self-critical voices that we all have?
Dalai Lama 提出他的處理經驗 [1]:
We should realize that the recognition of our own limitations and weaknesses can be very positive. 他強調: 智慧像雨水一樣匯集在低處, Wisdom is like rainwater -- gather in the low places. 春天盛開的花朵從何處開始? Does it start on the hilltops or down in the valleys first? 成長從低處開始 Growth begins first in low places. 而只有謙卑才有機會讓自己學習.
