And remember, each situation has to become an opportunity to meditate. What is meditation? Becoming aware of what you are doing, becoming aware of what is happening to you.

Somebody insults you: become aware. What is happening to you when the insult reaches you? Meditate over it. This is changing the whole gestalt; when somebody insults you, you concentrate on the person. "Why is he insulting me? Who does he think he is? How can I take revenge?" If he is very powerful you surrender, you start wagging your tail. If he is not very powerful and you see that he is weak, you pounce on him. But you forget yourself completely in all this; the other becomes the focus.

This is missing the opportunity for meditation. When someone insults you, meditate.
...
Whatever happens - good, bad, success, failure - immediately become aware of what is happening. Don't miss a single moment. Don't lag behind, and you will be surprised: errors will start disappearing from your life. And then whatsoever you do will be right.
