Free writing/Independent learning-3: A interesting paragraph "Discover the 90/10 Principle"

Yesterday I read an interesting paragraph my older sister give to me. "Discover the 90/10 principle," it talk about 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react to it. We have no control over this 10%, the other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

For example, you cannot control a red light. But you can control your reaction. The paragraph also tells us some way to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.
