Chaim Brown works for a boss who is extremely critical. Chaim can easily respond and “put him in his place”, since Chaim is very sharp, and he knows how “to do the job” which will end his unpleasant situation. I told him not to say anything, since the Zechus of accepting Bizayon is so precious, and it will bring him all kinds of goodness in his life.
This is only true if it doesn’t get out of hand, and Chaim can train himself to have a “tough hide” and make believe that he isn’t sensitive. He also needs to learn Mussar as much as he can, about how truly lucky he is. Or, he can call me from time to time, and my pep talk about how great he is will take care of the problem.
I also told him that with Tefila he can get rid of the whole problem. He should also suspect that maybe his boss has a point, and if he can improve himself, it would be A-1. This is also Hachna'a and Anava; i.e., being: מוֹדֶה (admitting) that you are wrong and doing Teshuva. But if he isn’t capable of changing himself, then it’s fine. Learning Shaar HaBitachon is always good for this and for everything in life. You don’t care as much, and you worry less.
