When we talk about "acceptance", you must not understand it as "resignation". While the former invites you to be smart enough to realize that you simply cannot fight certain life situations - but you can eventually overcome them and be a winner - the latter turns you into a victim - a hopeless loser. When you resign yourself, you accept what is happening "passively", with a feeling of defeat. You see yourself as badly treated by a cruel destiny and feel justified in your immobility, either physical or spiritual. Present-day society, while pushing you towards competitiveness and even aggression from one side, from the other it pulls you towards a dangerous lack of self-confidence - the foreseeable preparation for failure. The two sides of the same coin. Intelligent "acceptance" is neither.
