A LESSON FROM THE SEA

One day, Lao Tzu gathered his disciples and asked:
- According to you Why is sea so great?

One disciple answered: The sea is great because sea it is so wide and immense so that there is nothing else big enough to be comparable.

Another disciple answered: The sea is great because of its  color - unique jade green color. there's only one on the world, nothing's beautiful comparable. No other color is more beautiful.

Still another disciple said more: The sea is great because sea it has strength the power to sweep away everything.

After listenting, he Lao Tzu smiled and expounded replied: The sea is greatest at the point that because it dares to put itself at the lowest position so that place, where thousands of rivers high above it can pour themselves intoout sea.

So in life, The greatest person is the one who dares to lower himself knows putting oneself lower than other a degree.. so that he can Great person is the one dare to think that he's lower than others to listen and learn from others them.

Modesty will be is the key leads you to success.

"Endure a word, peaceful wave, calm sea
Back a step, immense wind, high sky" 沒有原文, 难以更改或翻譯,  不明英文的表示

Tram

I believe the original Chinese quote is

忍一時風平浪靜,   endure one time wind flat wave calm

退一步海濶天空.   retreat one step ocean wide sky vast.

A literal translation would be,

If able to endure then the winds will [eventually] die and the waves become calm.

If able to retreat a step back, the wide ocean and the vast the sky [will be seen because of the calm]

Translating by meaning:

To endure and to yield will prevent turbulence of that moment.

The greatest is the one who dares to lower himself so that he can listen and learn from others.
