Too much stress cannot be laid...upon the admonition that we seek so far as possible to live in the lives of other people. By sharing in the misfortunes of others, and rejoicing in their happiness, you add to your own emotional serenity and stability.

About This Quote

We live in a society where everyone is criticized. People are criticized for their looks, their clothes, the way they speak, and even the way they think. No one is allowed to be different. Everyone is expected to act the same way.

If you do not act exactly like everyone else, you are labeled as crazy or weird. As a result, many people do not know how to cope with stress because they do not know how to deal with criticism. If you want to be happy and successful in life, you must learn how to deal with criticism well.
