88 : Universal Goodness
In building Wat Phra Dhammakaya, all of the founding
members had to work very hard day after day for years. To
build a business, one must also work very hard day after day for
years. One cannot meet with success waiting on luck alone.
Conclusion
• When a person is habitually unpunctual, he will lose
self-confidence; he will not be able to face anyone; he
is incapable of admitting his mistake, he is incapable of
committing himself, and he will run away from problems.
• Such a person is predisposed to saying things he does
not mean, things that are false, things that are offensive.
He is predisposed to transgressing the Fourth Precept.
• When a person habitually lies or uses offensive words,
he will become quick to anger, selfish, rude and
hard-hearted.
• An angry and selfish person lacks reason, finds faults
with others, and has family problems, school problems,
work problems, and life problems.
• He can easily pass on his bad habits to everyone around
him including his family, his friends, his subordinates, etc.
