An Inspiration from Former President Nixon

In his final speech to the White House staff before he resigned, Former President Nixon said:
"Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty; always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself."

In the midst of my most recent debacle with some unscrupulous individuals, these words have inspired me aside from the Bible and from my friends' support and comforting words. Indeed, there is no need for me to be discouraged and be continously distraught for in so doing, those people will only win and it will only lead me towards self-destruction.
