There is a lesson to be learned from a downpour of rain. If you get caught in a sudden cloudburst, you will still get a drenching even though you try to keep dry by hurrying along and taking cover under overhangs of roofs. If you are prepared to get wet from the start, the result is still the same but it is no hardship. This attitude can be applied to all things.

Nors ne­va­lia leis­ti ki­tiems va­do­vau­ti, bū­ti vai­din­gam, ne­iš­auk­lė­tam ar per­ne­lyg nuo­lan­kiam, ta­čiau jei­gu žmo­gus pa­de­da ki­tiems ir ben­drau­ja su se­nais pa­žįs­ta­mais itin man­da­giai, tar­si su­ti­kęs pir­mą kar­tą, jis su vi­sais su­tars pui­kiai. Vy­ro ir žmo­nos san­ty­kiai ir­gi grin­džia­mi šiuo prin­ci­pu. Jei­gu pa­bai­go­je vy­ras taip pat pro­tin­gas, kaip ir pra­džio­je, tai jis su žmo­na taip pat su­tars pui­kiai.
