Laozi

Laozi
Image
Those who defeat others are strong, those who defeat themselves are mighty.
Laozi

Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.
Laozi
Image
The best people are like water, which benefits all things and does not compete with them. It stays in lowly places that others reject. This is why it is so similar to the Way.
Laozi
