When people praise you to the skies
be aware, they could withdraw it
at any moment of their choice
and the higher the flight
the steeper the fall,
and the thud afterwards!
Equanimity in handling
bouquets and brickbats
an indifference to both
is the key to happiness and peace...
Yes this too shall pass is a good motto to live by! Though it is a bit more difficult to practice it when the times are good!
