Relying on some deeds, forgetting others
It is reported that Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari - Allah be pleased with him - said,
"A person might do a single good deed, rely on it and forget sins that he regards insignificant, but then meet Allah (on the Day of Judgment) with those sins surrounding him.
And a man might commit a sin, but never stop fearing its consequences, until he meets Allah safe and sound."
Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr, Fath Al-Bari, references this narration to Asad b. Musa’s Al-Zuhd. A slightly different wording is reported by Ibn Al-Mubarak in Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa`iq Vol.1 p170.

If people display bad character towards us,
it should not make us drop our good character as a result.
