[9] A novice who is not really the kind of person who should put on a big show<br \/>\nmust take responsibility for his own progress and how he conducts himself. He avoids<br \/>\npretentiousness, and if there is an opportunity to pretend he is someone he is not, or that he<br \/>\nis of a rank that he does not deserve, the person of integrity rejects such artificiality. He prefers<br \/>\nto be who he is and present himself as he is, rather than gaining ground by being a<br \/>\nfake.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n2. [6] To turn one&#8217;s entire attention to form and appearances betrays a certain egocenteredness.<br \/>\nSuch a man is not bent on accomplishing any great and substantial work, but<br \/>\nonly in having the appearance of someone who is important. He spends all his time and effort<br \/>\non cultivating that appearance rather than actually performing the necessary work.<br \/>\nOnly when his own accomplishments are coordinated with the image he portrays is he<br \/>\nwithout blame.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n3. [9] After a man has made a certain amount of advancement, he finds himself in very comfortable<br \/>\ncircumstances. He is pleased with himself, with his life, and with all the fine things<br \/>\nthat his life has brought him. It is easy, however, for the pleasantness of his existence to<br \/>\nswallow him up, so that he abandons the efforts that are needed for him to continue to advance.<br \/>\nHe loses the enthusiasm of the determined effort that got him this far. But his entire<br \/>\nfuture depends upon his breaking out of this stage of indolent self-satisfaction.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n4. [6] A man is faced with a choice: to continue to pursue life in the fast lane with its flash<br \/>\nand glitter, or to return to a simpler mode of living that includes more substantial relationships<br \/>\nand opportunities to develop his mind and himself as a person. He knows instinctively<br \/>\nthat the superficial existence is not for a man of substance, yet there are many aspects<br \/>\nof that life that are enjoyable and that he will surely miss. The opportunities for a simple<br \/>\nbut richer life are before him, and the choice is clear, even if reluctantly made.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\n5. [6] If a man withdraws from a life of ostentation to one of simplicity and substance, he<br \/>\nmay find that there are not many who share his sentiments. He wonders what he has to offer<br \/>\nto those who do, and after taking inventory finds that he has very little. But this should<br \/>\nnot deter him. It is not the flashy, ostentatious things that impress real companions, but<br \/>\nhonest friendship, good conversation, and genuineness of spirit. And this illustrates the difference<br \/>\nbetween the ostentatious and the real. The former companions have no mind things<br \/>\nthat matter, and the latter care for nothing else.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\nTop. [9] The sage has perfect beauty of form in everything he does. But this is beauty without<br \/>\nostentation, and appearance without pretentiousness. Rather than being an outward,<br \/>\nadded element, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaeclatdotcom.blogspot.com\/2019\/12\/good-morning-h-22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">graciousness<\/a> of the sage reveals his inner self, so that everyone who<br \/>\ncomes in contact with him experiences him in depth and fullness. His simplicity, tranquility<br \/>\nand clarity are a window revealing the sincere beauty of his inner being.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/>\nPlease Comment, Like and Share<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Credit |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V2LvxO1Zei8\" style=\"text-align: left;\">22.
