Very often in everyday life one sees that by losing

one's temper with someone who has already lost

his, one does not gain anything but only sets out

upon the path of stupidity. He who has enough

self-control to stand firm at the moment when the

other person is in a temper, wins in the end. It is

not he who has spoken a hundred words aloud

who has won; it is he who has perhaps spoken only

one word.

 

For this battle in life the first thing that is necessary

is to keep the army in order. And what is this army?

It is one's nervous power. Whatever be one's occupation,

profession, walk in life, if one has not control over one's

own nerves one will be unable to control that walk in

life. Today people study political economy or various

other kinds of economy, but the most essential economy

is economizing the forces which make one healthy and

strong through life. This army must be drilled and made

to work at command. And one will find the proof of this

when one can sleep at will, when one can rest and eat

and work at will; then that army is really at one's command.
