Snake in the Fire
A man saw when a snake was dying burned and decided to take it out of the fire, but when it did, the snake bit him. By the reaction of pain, the man released her and the animal fell back into the fire and was burning again. The man tried to pull it out again and again the snake bit him. Someone who was watching approached the man and said:
- excuse me, but you're stubborn! Don't you understand that every time you try to get her out of the fire, she's gonna bite?
The man replied:
- the nature of the snake is biting, and that's not gonna change mine, which is to help.
So, with the help of a piece of iron, the man took out the fire snake and saved his life.

Do not change your nature if someone does harm you do not lose your essence; only take precautions.
Worry more about your conscience than your reputation. Because your conscience is what you are, and your reputation is what the rest of you think. And what other people think, it's not your problem... it's their problem.
