[Quote No.44326] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The [Jewish sacred text the] Talmud states that all suffering [frustration, failure, etc] is purposeful. When we suffer, we should view it as a message to check our behavior for areas we can [learn more about and thereby] improve.
Viewing suffering as meaningless increases one's pain. When you find meaning and purpose in suffering, it becomes much easier to bear [gratefully]. The more meaning you see, the lighter the burden [and the easier to be grateful for it]. The worst suffering is when one feels there is no purpose in it." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.45183] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Seek advice from others:] One might expect that a wise person to whom people come for advice would rely on his own wisdom and not feel a need to consult others. Whereas a fool should realize he frequently makes mistakes and should therefore seek counsel from others before taking action.
In reality, it is just the opposite. The wise person, though justified in relying on his own judgment, nevertheless listens to the advice of others. He realizes his biases and prejudices might cause him to make errors in his own matters. The fool, however, who should realize how often he makes mistakes, considers himself wise and does not listen to what others have to say. " - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.45186] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Repetition Makes it Real:
If you want a concept to become part of your habitual thought process, keep repeating it to yourself again and again. Even though you might not gain a deeper understanding of the concept, the constant repetition enables you to internalize it until it becomes part of your own way of thinking.
The Talmud relates that Rabbi Prayda had a student who needed to hear a lesson 400 times until he comprehended it. Rabbi Moshe Rosenstein used to say that when it comes to elevating our attitudes, we are all the same as that student. If we sincerely want to integrate a new attitude, we need to repeat it over and over again. Even if a person is highly intelligent, unless he reviews the concepts hundreds of times, they will not be properly ingrained. [Repetition is the mother of skill, insight and assimilation.]" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.45192] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The greatest teacher in the world is known as: 'Trial and error.' This has given more people more wisdom than any other teacher possibly could. 'There is no greater wise person than someone with experience.'
What does it mean to have experience? It means that one has learned from trial and error. If everyone would get it right the first time, experience would not be needed.
Having the courage to try - even though you might make a mistake - enables you to learn from trial and error. This is a valuable reframe.
Instead of becoming overly frustrated or discouraged when you make a mistake, realize that you are now becoming wiser." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.45908] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Learn From Your Experience:
The essence of wisdom is to have a complete grasp of reality. A wise person knows the probable consequences of a particular course of action. Therefore, someone with experience in a particular is regarded as 'wise' because he has personal knowledge of which actions produce which outcomes. Internalize the knowledge you have obtained from your experience; this will earn you the title, 'a wise person.'
Next time you find yourself in a painful or uncomfortable situation, tell yourself, 'With this experience I am gaining more wisdom.' If your mind ever takes you back to past painful events, view them as your personal 'University of Wisdom.' " - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.46844] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Turn Your Faults Into Virtues:
The Dubner Magid offered the following parable: A king owned a magnificent diamond which accidentally sustained a deep scratch. The royal diamond cutters said no amount of polishing would remove the flaw entirely. But one expert volunteered, 'I can rectify the flaw in a manner that will render the diamond more valuable than before.' The king told him to go ahead, and with great skill he engraved rose petals on the diamond. The deep scratch served as the stem of the flower.
Similarly, said the Dubner Magid, a person can transform negative traits into virtues. With creativity, you can use your mistakes and faults in a way that will gain you more than you would have otherwise. [You an turn your failures into strengths and your ignorance into leaning and eventually wisdom.] " - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.63539] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The Learn Experience Question:
Life is full of many learning experiences, also known as mistakes. Ask yourself frequently, 'What can I learn from this?' Some people make mistakes and then berate themselves for making those mistakes. They can be especially critical of themselves when they make a similar mistake a second and third time. Some people even say to themselves, 'Why do I keep making the same mistakes over and over again?' This question takes a person in the wrong direction.
It's valuable to recognize when you make a mistake. 'That was a mistake.' But don't focus on the fact that you keep making the same mistake; instead, the next step is to ask yourself, 'What can I learn from this to avoid similar mistakes in the future?'
Don't obsess about your mistakes. Then your mind keeps its focus on what you did wrong and what you don't want to do in the future. Keep your mind on doing the right things in the right ways. Then your mind is focused on what you do want.
When you ask yourself, 'What can I learn from this?' you are becoming more aware that you are becoming wiser and wiser. That's the mindset that you want for yourself." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.64804] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The Talmud (Airuvin 54b) relates that Rabbi Praida had to repeat each lesson to a certain student four hundred times until the student understood it. This is usually cited as an example of the patience needed to be a teacher. We can also see the courage and perseverance of the student. Most people would give up after twenty or thirty repetitions and say they lack the necessary intelligence to comprehend the subject. This student realized he would eventually understand if he just heard each point enough times. When you say you cannot understand something, how many times did you try before you reached your conclusion? We have tremendous ability to understand almost anything if we have the patience to hear the ideas enough times. Pride gets in the way, and so does frustration. But a truth seeker does not worry about what others might think and keeps his mind on the goal." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

Work on improving yourself, instead of wasting time feeling sorry that you are not the way you would like.
Describe your ideal self: What type of person do you really want to be? Be as specific as possible. Don't use vague terms like 'being a kind person, gaining lots of knowledge, and being successful.' With these terms you will not have a clear criteria to determine if you have reached the goals.
If, for example, you wish to improve in doing kindness, clarify the specific acts of kindness you plan to do, and how often. Then, once you have a picture of your ideal self, you can plan ways to travel the path leading to that ideal." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"One Step at a Time:
Learn to deal with your difficult life situations one step at a time. Don't view all that you have to do as a mountain to climb in one jump. Divide tasks into steps small enough for you to deal with little by little. Focus on the specific task at hand and take pleasure with every small amount that you do!" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Gateway to Happiness', p.382.
