If you want to go far in life

"If you want to go far in life, be …
Tender with the young,
Compassionate with the aged,
Sympathetic with the striving,
Tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because someday you will have been all of these."
- George Washington Carver

"Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers,
be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling,
but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing."
1 Peter 3:8-9

God give that I can bring up patience for others
and can approach them with kindness.
Let me radiate the love of Christ.

Dutch version > Als je ver wilt gaan in het leven

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair

"Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair,
but manifestations of strength and resolutions."
- Kahlil Gibran

"... Make every effort to add to your faith ...
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure,
they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive
in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1:5, 7, 8

Jehovah, let my faith be feeding with proper virtue,
knowledge and self-control -
and give that I can approach the people with gentleness and kindness.

Dutch version / Nederlandse versie > Tederheid en vriendelijkheid zijn geen tekenen van zwakte en wanhoop
