DAY 267
Patience in Adversity, Wise Words in Company
기원후 5세기경(바르트리하리 니티샤타카)
ORIGINAL
विपदि धैर्यमथाभ्युदये क्षमा सदसि वाक्पटुता युधि विक्रमः । यशसि चाभिरुचिर्व्यसनं श्रुतौ प्रकृतिसिद्धमिदं हि महात्मनाम् ॥ (vipadi dhairyam athābhyudaye kṣamā sadasi vākpaṭutā yudhi vikramaḥ, yaśasi cābhirucir vyasanaṃ śrutau prakṛtisiddham idaṃ hi mahātmanām)
📜 THE VERSE
Patience in adversity, restraint in prosperity, eloquence in company, courage in battle, a love of honor paired with devotion to learning — these come naturally to great souls.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Of these five, which one is weakest in me right now?
📝Reflection
A great person is not someone with a single virtue, but someone who keeps balance by wearing a different face for each situation. They endure hardship, stay humble in success, speak wisely among others, do not retreat in crisis, and honor reputation without abandoning learning. When these five live together in one person, that person becomes worth calling a true friend.
