Important Attributes - Patience and Self-confidence

"When the going gets tough, the tough gets going" - Splendid lines, indeed! 

But the above said statement is stylish and incomplete. How does the Tough get going? Just like that? Move on  forgetting about the disappointments? Well the answer is tough and incomplete. But what I learnt in my life when I faced such tough times is to learn to be Self-confident and try to maintain some patience while dealing with the matter.

The said attributes so important for any human being. You need to exercise it, you cannot be taught about it. You need to be confident and positive about yourself, your outlook and believe that you can change around the tough times into fruitful ones. Don't get bogged down by disappointments or brood over them for a long time, of course we can't stop brooding since we are normal human beings, but try not to over react to such situations. Just be patient enough to watch how things proceed, always have a positive outlook towards future, but keep your expectations to minimal.

Another important factor you must remember yourself during tough times is to be Self-confident. Believe in yourself, first love yourselves and trust your own knowledge, intuition and wisdom. This is really important and it will help you overcome any disappointments in life. If in spite of practicing these two virtues you fail again, never mind, just bite off the dust and say that the third invisible/uncontrollable component namely "Luck" is not in your side. Remember that it is a matter of time before good things come back.
