change your character...


a sheikh said, 
if you wish to become a saint,
change your character into that of a child..

and why is that?

children have 5 qualities..
if adults had these same qualities,
they would attain the rank of saints!

1 - they do not worry about their daily bread.

2 - when they are sick,
they do not complain night & day
about their misfortune.

3 - whatever food they have, they share.

4 - when they quarrel,
they do not keep grudges in their hearts
& make up quickly.

5 - the slightest threat makes them frightened
& brings tears to their eyes.
