DO MEN EVER RUN?

One of the tests of strength is to know when to run. There are times when you
shouldn't fight. Especially when the enemy has chosen the battleground.
Real men have the courage (absence of pride) to wait another day when
the environment is favorable.

COURAGE IS EXEMPLIFIED, AT TIMES, BY THE ABILITY TO TURN AND RUN.

Retreat is not surrender!
The enemy will try to sucker you into a confrontation where
he has the advantage. Don't fall for it.
Just the other day a comment was made to me that caused
my blood to boil. Instead of "giving it to him", I just ran
(not physically) by holding my tongue. If I had
responded, I would have been drawn into a regrettable situation.
Learn to know when to fight and when to remain silent.
You should always choose the ground to fight on.
When I responded, I did on my terms and appropriately.
I received satisfaction that my patience rewarded
me.
Don't be afraid to run to fight another day!
