By Paulo Coelho
The wise man, Saadi of Shiraz, was walking along a road with his disciple when he saw a man trying to get his mule to move. When the animal refused to budge, the man began calling him the worst names he could think of.
‘Don’t be silly,’ said Saadi. ‘The mule will never learn your language. You would do better to calm down and learn his language.’
And as he walked away, he remarked to his disciple:
‘Before you get into an argument with a mule, remember the scene you have just witnessed.’

It’s true ,words are worthy and we should’t waste them for persons who are far to understand.
May God give us the ability to distinguish between people who desrve it and those who don’t.

We are rational animals… in life we are going to encounter with difficult and stubborn people and the best way to deal with them is to be patient, and never try to argue with them. they tink they are right and is a very difficult task to get that idea out of their heads only time will let them realize how wrong they were.
We close our eyes
We try to control our escalating rage
Anger would only keep our thoughts imprisoned
We breathe…
We think…
The picture slowly gets clear
The solution is one step away…
We begin to untie the dilemma…
With of our calmness, the mule will move.
Peace, the universal language to learn, cherish and remember.
