What is the meaning of the ancient Russian proverb?
If our souls fragile as glass, then when the mallet / hit problems, we will easily discouraged, frustrated, disappointed, angry, and so despondent.
If we are the glass, then we are also vulnerable to collisions. We're easily offended, disappointed, angry, or hurt while we relate to others. Little impact has been more than enough to destroy our relationship.
Do not ever be a glass, but be steel. Mental mental steel is always positive, even grateful when a problem remains and the circumstances that was really hard squeezing.
Why is that?
People who like this always assume that "the problem is the process of life to shape it for the better". A piece of steel who would be a more useful tool after first processed and shaped with a hammer. Every blow is painful, but the mental steel to realize that it's always good to him.
If today we are being oppressed by the problems of life, never respond with the wrong attitude!
If we are "steel", we will always see the hammer that struck us as friends that will shape us.
Conversely, if we are "glass" then we will always see the hammer as an enemy who would destroy us.
