Rabbi Charles Klein tells the story
of nurse, Elizabeth Kenny, who developed a treatment for polio. Kenny was asked how she always managed to
maintain her cheery disposition. Was she
just born that way?
“Oh no, as a girl I often lost my
temper. But one day when I became angry
at a friend for some trivial matter, my mother said to me:
“Elizabeth, anyone who angers you,
conquers you.”
She never forgot those words. With them, Kenny remade herself. Can you?
