Similarly, a woman tends to be on the
emotional side. This trait too has its positive as
well as its negative aspects. The positive aspect is
that she tends to be more sensitive, and therefore
more gentle and compassionate, which is, without
doubt, a positive quality. But the negative aspect
is that it can give her an obstinate personality, thus
making her stubborn even when a flexible
approach is necessary. If a woman allows this
aspect of her nature to go unchecked, it will be
detrimental to the wholesome development of her
personality.
A man and a woman, both, ought to
understand the natural traits they are born with.
They must consciously strive to make use of their
positive aspects, and sedulously refrain from
taking any negative course. The secret of success
in both men and women lies in this self-control.
