Patience, in Hindu philosophy, is the cheerful endurance of trying conditions and the consequence of one's action and deeds (karma). It is also the capacity to wait, endure opposites - such as pain and pleasure, cold and heat, sorrows and joys - calmly, without anxiety, and without a desire to seek revenge

Joseph Brodsky on how to deal with critics in your life
What your foes do
derives its significance or consequence from the way you react.
Therefore, rush through or past them as though they
were yellow and not red lights.
Don’t linger on them
mentally or verbally; don’t pride yourself on forgiving or forgetting them —
worse come to worse, do the forgetting first.
This way you’ll spare
your brain cells a lot of useless agitation; this way, perhaps, you may even
save those pigheads from themselves, since the prospect of being forgotten is
shorter than that of being forgiven. So
flip the channel: you can’t put this network out of circulation, but at least
you can reduce its ratings.
Now, this solution is
not likely to please angels, but, then again, it’s bound to hurt demons, and
for the moment that’s all that really matters.”

verb
to expose to hazard or danger

संशय saMzaya
Taking a risk, for me, is putting myself out there. Each time I open myself there is a danger that I won’t like what I hear, that the other person won’t accept, that I may get hurt emotionally, physically, spiritually. Each time we do something that has a risk of something unpleasant happening it also has the possibility of something good happening. I put myself out there because the possibility of the good far outweighs the risk.
