Not praising the deserving prevents envy.
If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.
A skillful commander is not overbearing. A skillful fighter does not become angry. A skillful conqueror does not compete with people. One who is skillful in using men puts himself below them. This is called the strength to use men. This is called matching Heaven, The highest principle of old.
What resists, persists.
Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.
Loss is not as bad as wanting more.
