In a difficult situation one never-failing guide is to ask yourself 'What would Christ have done' Then do it-as nearly as you can.
More Quotes from Robert Baden-Powell:
The great thing that strikes you on looking back is how quickly you have comehow very brief is the span of life on this earth. The warning that one would give, therefore, is that it is well not to fritter it away on things that don't count in the end nor on the other hand is it good to take life too seriously as some seem to do. Make it a happy life while you have it. That is where success is possible to every man.Robert Baden-Powell
'Softly, softly, catchee monkey,' is the West African rendering of a very valuable precept. An awful lot of men fail through lack of patient persistence.

Possibly the best suggestion in condensed form, as to how to live, was given by my old Headmaster, Dr. Haig Brown, in 1904, when he wrote his Recipe for Old Age. A diet moderate and spare, Freedom from base financial care, Abundant work and little leisure, A love of duty more than pleasure, An even and contented mind In charity with all mankind, Some thoughts too sacred for display In the broad light of common day, A peaceful home, a loving wife, Children, who are a crown of life These lengthen out the years of man Beyond the Psalmist's narrow span.

I have known lots of millionaires who were not happy men they had not got all they wanted and therefore had failed to find success in life. A Singalese proverb says 'He who is happy is rich, but it does not follow that he who is rich is happy.' The really rich man is the man who has fewest wants.
