do your work, then quietly step back
When there is
a pleasant state, there is
an unpleasant state in contrast.
When there is a good situation, there
is one that is not good to replace it.
Only an ordinary, simple life
is a comfortable
nest.

those who are like the spring breeze
Those who are
broad-minded and considerate
are like the spring breeze, warm and nurturing,
at whose touch all beings grow. Those who are envious
and cruel are like the snow of the northlands,
stilling and freezing, at whose touch
all beings die.
refine a hundred times
Polish what you polish
until it is like gold that has been refined
a hundred times; anything that is done in a hurry
is not deeply developed. Do what you do like
a thousand pound catapult; one who
pops off too easily does not
much.
