How should
one proceed if success comes early?
If one has
insufficient will-power, one can become attached to success. If
you are successful early, you should tell yourself that you can
lose your success at any time. The wise man is neither overly
joyful at his own success, nor overly discontent. When things
come unexpectedly or at a time of despair, it hasn't come by willpower
but may be due to other factors: merit or proper technique. It
is difficult to control the mind from being delighted by success,
but one shouldn't be reckless. If you are not reckless, but just
gladdened by success, that's all right. Tell yourself that the
world has two sides, a bright side and a dark side, always.
