True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary; dispense with the new pair of gloves; mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be; so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income.

Everything happens for a reason, that's why it's said that every delay is a blessing. Hard times will come, don't ever allow it to weigh you down or stop you from serving God continuously. Sometimes, God only wants to see how much you believe in him as you claim. There's no repose, no delay or unforeseen circumstances that befall a man without the knowledge of God. Keep up the faith and rejoice!

For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.
