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

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

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.

Endless drama in a group clouds consciousness. Too much noise overwhelms the senses. Continual input obscures genuine insight. Do not substitute sensationalism for learning.

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.

Allow regular time for silent reflection. Turn inward and digest what has happened. Let the senses rest and grow still.
