Ben on Virtue and Maturity -- DeWese

“11) Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles or at accidents common or unavoidable.” Franklin is telling us that mature people do everything in stride. They don’t sweat the small stuff. Salespeople who lose it over life’s many bumps and potholes are never successful. Their minds are consumed with fret and anger, and they don’t think about where they will find the next customer.
