On Battles
Pick your battles – fight battles only when you are confident of winning. Not all battles need to be fought - or at least not right away. Sometimes, it is better to walk away, and wait till you are confident enough. But sometimes, it is not whether you win, but that you fought, that you gave your best. And there are times when it is better to just let go, and move on, when peace is better than being right.
