An intelligent and skillful person transforms losses into profits: whereas, the unskilled person aggravates his own predicament, often making two disasters out of one.
If your are afflicted with a misfortune look on the bright side. If someone were to hand you a glass of squeezed lemons, add to it a handful of sugar. And if someone gives you a snake as a gift, keep its precious skin and leave the rest.
Before its violent revolution, France imprisoned two brilliant poets: one an optimist, the other a pessimist. They both squeezed their heads through the bars of their cell windows. The optimist then stared at the stars and laughed, while the pessimist looked at the dirt of a neighboring road and wept. Look at the other side of a tragedy- a circumstance of pure evil does not exist, and in all situations one can find goodness and profit and reward from God.
