The wise leader speaks rarely and briefly. After all, no other natural outpouring goes on and on. It rains and then it stops. It thunders and then it stops.

Learn to see things backwards, inside out, and upside down.

The leader teaches more through being than through doing. The quality of one's silence conveys more than long speeches.

Teach people to let go of their superficial mental chatter and obsessions. Teach people to pay attention to the whole body's reaction to a situation.

Your behaviour influences others through a ripple effect. A ripple effect works because everyone influences everyone else. Powerful people are powerful influences.

Silence is a great source of strength.

Have respect for every person and every issue directed at you. Do not dismiss any encounter as insignificant.
