If you want to bring
peace to others, be in harmony with them. If you wish to sway others, be
accommodating. To establish harmony is to unite people, as the soft can conquer
the hard.
Know yourself, know others; know when to advance, when to retreat; at all times maintain peace and equanimity in body and mind; know your blessings, use them wisely, strive to increase them; everywhere you go develop deep virtuous affinity with others.
人、己、進退を知り、常に心身安らかに。福を知り、惜しみ、多く培う事が、広く人との善縁を結ぶ。
남을 알고 자기를 알고, 나가고 물러설 때를 알면, 항상 심신이 평안할 것이요, 복을 알고 복을 아끼고 복을 가꾸어가면, 두루 좋은 인연을 맺을 수 있을 것이다.
Always keep your body and mind always relaxed and meet
everyone with a smile; relaxation makes your mind and body healthy, and a smile
gathers friends and friendship.
About to speak? Think a moment. Slow
your speech a bit. It's not that you should not speak, but rather that you
should cherish what you say and choose your words with care.
