Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low. And certainly don't whine. You can be brought low, that's OK, but don't be reduced by them. Just say, 'That's life.'

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

If you want what you're saying heard, then take your time and say it so that the listener will actually hear it. You might save somebody's life. Your own, first.

It is the worst thing you can do, women, is whine, ... I mean the worst. Don't complain, protest.

i can be changed by what happens to me. but i refuse to be reduced by it.

During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.
