When a raven croaks and it seems like a bad omen, don't get carried away by how things appear. Think clearly and say, "This means nothing for me — not for my body, my stuff, my reputation, my kids, or my spouse. For me, every sign is a good sign if I choose to see it that way. Whatever happens, I can find a way to benefit from it."
When a raven happens to croak unluckily, be not overcome by appearances, but discriminate and say, “Nothing is portended to _me_, either to my paltry body, or property, or reputation, or children, or wife. But to _me_ all portents are lucky if I will. For whatsoever happens, it belongs to me to derive advantage therefrom.”
