The Tao that can be described in words is not the true Tao
The Name that can be named is not the true Name.
Those who know the true being of another, can judge;
Those who know the true self, are enlighted;

Those who are in control, need great strenght;
Being humble, makes one strong;

Those who are pleased with what they have are rich inside;
Being ambitious, makes one determined;

Those who never lose their true being, will endure;
Those who die but never vanish are eternal.


In dwelling, live close to the Earth.
In thinking, be open to new ideas.
In relationships, be kind.
In speech, tell the truth and keep your word.
In leading people, demonstrate integrity.
In daily matters, be competent.
In acting, consider the appropriate timing.

Good judgment is a product of wisdom.
Wisdom is a product of experience.
Experience is a product of mistakes.
Mistakes are a product of bad judgement.
