The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist, the opportunity in every difficulty.

Opportunity
The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist, the opportunity in every difficulty.

Silence!
Things cannot always go as you want them to.
Accept disappointment quietly;
Cultivate the gift of silence when speaking may aggravate the difficulty.

Humility
People who think themselves wise are seldom humble enough to allow others to guide them. It is better to be stupid and slow and to be humble about it, than to possess vast knowledge and to be smug about it. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 3, Chapter 7, p. 94)
Goal-directed behavior, one of the bases of any kind of success in life and love, depends upon being able to organize one's thoughts and hopes, and act upon them in a direct and timely fashion. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 62)
There is one thing that keeps many people from gaining ground and from fervently striving to improve: the dread of difficultly, or more accurately the effort of the struggle. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 25, p. 60)
