To conduct one's life according to the Tao is to conduct one's life without regrets
-- to realize the potential within oneself which is of benefit to all.

Advisors who are wise do not seek honours for themselves,
nor act with guile towards the ones they serve..

Their task completed, they then let go of it.
Seeking no credit, they cannot be discredited.

Thus, their teaching lasts for ever, and is held in high esteem.

You will give me $10, and I will give you $10.
But then, nothing has changed.
Not so. You will give me $10 when I need it, and I will give you $10 when you need it.
