مساء الفل

لاأرى نفسي مؤهلاً لإعطاء نصيحة لأي كان.
ولكن لا أستطيع أن أمنع قوة ما تدفعني دفعا إلى إعطائك نصيحة مهمّة يا زميل
وحتى أوفق هذه المعادلة الصعبة ، سأدع شخصا غيري ينصحك، وهو الحكيم لاو تسو :

The sharper the knife
the easier it is to dull.
***
If you rush into action, you will fail.
If you hold on too tight, you will loose your grip.
***
Wise men don't need to debate;
men who need to debate are not wise.

***
Those who stands on tiptoes
do not stand firmly.
Those who rush ahead
don't get very far.
Those who try to out shine others
dim their own light.
Those who call themselves righteous
can't know how wrong they are.
***
Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.

Stop talking,
meditate in silence,
blunt your sharpness,
release your worries,
harmonize your inner light,
and become one with the dust.
Doing this is the called the dark and mysterious identity.

Those who have achieved the mysterious identity
can not be approached, and they can not be alienated.
They can not be benefited nor harmed.
They can not be made noble nor to suffer disgrace.
This makes them the most noble of all under the heavens.

***
The living are soft and yielding;
the dead are rigid and stiff.
Living plants are flexible and tender;
the dead are brittle and dry.

Those who are stiff and rigid
are the disciple of death.
Those who are soft and yielding
are the disciples of life.

The rigid and stiff will be broken.
The soft and yielding will overcome.
***
Water is the softest and most yielding substance.
Yet nothing is better than water,
for overcoming the hard and rigid,
because nothing can compete with it.

Everyone knows that the soft and yielding
overcomes the rigid and hard,
but few can put this knowledge into practice.
