One must cultivate the habit of accepting good or bad with gratitude. You have to do your duty sincerely and honestly. Sometimes you get rewards or abuse.Don't get dishearened. Your good behaviour with others is most important. When a person comes to you for your help, extend the same, without murmuring. If you are criticised by others instead of appreciation don't act immediately. Take sufficient time to react over it. Your patience gives you strength.

Hello there! I am Angel and I am from the Philippines. I agree with what you said. I think it's really hard to react with gratitude when it comes to negative things happening to us. Ideally, we should apprecite even those things but it's hard to react that way immediately without thinking about it. Personally, I don't think I can practice that. But you are right that we should do. I may be able to accept it with gratitude after thinking it over. Patience is a virtue. And I guess that the one who possess it and practice it will get lots of positive things that will happen because it gives us a clearer vision about things.
