Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection is on Cervantes work, Don Quixote.
“Senor,” said Sancho on hearing this, “It is the part of brave hearts to be patient in adversity just as much as to be glad in prosperity. . . . Fortune is a drunken whimsical jade, and, what is more, blind, and therefore neither sees what she does, nor knows whom she casts down or whom she sets up.” Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote
Note: We all have streaks of things going well and things falling apart. The wise learn to take to the good with the bad. They know that every storm will end. If they don’t quit and persevere they know life will once again turn around and the sun will shine on them. They are humble when it is going good and learners when it is going bad. Persevere during tough times, enjoy the good times.
