Ten percent of the time, something you lent to someone will come back damaged. Ten percent of the time, even your best friend may say something thoughtless and regret it. 00 00 In other words, develop a thick skin. 00 00 It is often easier to assume that people are doing the best they can, and that many are simply unaware of the impact of their behavior. It costs far more to defend yourself constantly, to need to be right and in control. 00 00 Try forgiving, and you will get much more than ten percent in return. Refuse to accept some insults, even when hurled under the guise of love. By ignoring them, you’ll reduce tension, strengthen your relationships and increase your joy. ) 02 br
