Accept praise good-humoredly. Reflect that what you receive today

"Accept praise good-humoredly. Reflect that what you receive today may be withdrawn tomorrow, and that even praise well-earned can become a yoke upon your neck if you take it too seriously. Be ruled by your own conscience, not by the opinions of others. Praise and blame, very often, are the opposite sides of a single, counterfeit coin."

--Swami Kriyananda
