Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger.
Dalai LamaI call myself a feminist. Isn't that what you call someone who fights for women's rights?
Dalai LamaIf we are demoralized, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence - and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts - in other words, never give up.
