I would like to broadcast this Dharma talk today, with the wish for you and people in the world that you are going to have a better life.
In old times , there was an American baseball player called Babe Ruth. He was a number one player with home runs.
He was called the king of the homerun. There is an interesting quote of his.
He said “ What I am proud about of myself is not that I became a number one home run player, it’s that every time I got in a slump , I didn’t give up and I overcame and that is what I am proud of about myself.
People see only the result so they praise that bright part of the result and people think that he must be proud of that but actually, he is proud of himself because of how he overcame his tough times.
By the way, I have two things that I care about in my life. One is that I don’t want to do things that I can’t be proud of and I don’t want to be ashamed of myself when I die. Actually these two things are the same.
Please listen to the full talk below. Thank you
