Those who possess what is known as faith, or the core of how to live, are never the least bit discouraged. This is absolutely beyond a doubt.
But how do you come to have faith?
You can learn from the mentors around you.
There are quite a number of skills that you can acquire from studying older people, who are your great mentors in everything. Whether it’s stories of their successes or of their failures, it can be very beneficial to listen to what they have to say.
Look around you—there are probably plenty of older people in your orbit. Each of them has her own life story. And each has her own experience and knowledge—which is exponentially greater than what you’ve learned in life so far. Such a wonderful resource, so close at hand.
The stories older people have to tell about everything they’ve seen and experienced are invaluable. Unlike the knowledge that is to be found in books or in school, this is firsthand experience, straight from the heart and lived in the flesh. Here in their true stories you can find the keys to life.
