COUNTING THE ODDS

A hero often encounters overwhelming odds and finds himself placed in disadvantageous situations. A critical skill he must muster is the simple decision of knowing what battles are worth fighting for and what battles to let pass. Not everyone can win people to their side 100% of the time!

A story is told of a wiseman who had all the knowledge in the world. He probably he had the solution to every problem man could think up. Problem was, he wanted so badly to share his ideas that he often came across too forcefully, being insensitive and tactless towards others feelings. He irritated many people and soon he realized no one was interested in his ideas - though they were excellent!

The wiseman had to learn how to select and tackle problems that mattered the most and not pick on every single issue that was present. Some problems cause more trouble than others & vice versa, provide the most relief when solved. He saw value in respecting people as they were and the importance of Kindness & Grace.

"People judge us by our actions, not our intentions. We might have a
heart of gold, but so does a hardboiled egg!"
