or more yielding
than water。
Yet； given time；
it can erode even the hardest stone。
That's how the weak
can defeat the strong；
and the supple
can win out over the stiff。
Everybody knows it。
So why don't we apply it to our own lives？
Lao Tzu used to say：
〃Take on people's problems；
and you can be their leader。
Deal with the world's problems；
and you'll be a Master。〃
Sometimes the truth makes no sense。

Sometimes；
when an argument is settled；
feelings of resentment still remain

on either side。
What's the point of carrying a grudge？
The Masters care
about what they owe other people；
not what other people owe them。
People who are in touch with Tao
do their duty。
People who aren't
try to force others into submission。
Tao doesn't play favorites。
But if you do right by Tao；
Tao will do right by you。

Lao Tzu had a dream
about a small country
with very few people。
They didn't need machines
to get their work done faster。
They took their lives seriously；
and stayed close to home。
They may have owned
boats and carriages；
but they never went anywhere。
They may have owned weapons；
but they kept those weapons
locked up； securely hidden。
They had so few responsibilities；
they never had to make a To…Do list
to remember what had to be done。
They enjoyed simple foods；
dressed plainly；
lived comfortably；
and kept their traditions alive。
And even though
their neighbors were so close
they could hear
the dogs barking at night；
they had no interest
163
in leaving their homes；
where they grew old peacefully
and died。
81。
The truth isn't flashy。
Flashy words aren't true。
Educated people
aren't always smart。
Smart people
don't always have an education。
Good people don't argue。
People who argue aren't good。
The Masters don't hang on to things。
They're always doing something
for other people；
so they always have more to give。
They give away
whatever they have；
so what they have is worth more。
If you want to get right with Tao；
help other people； don't hurt them。
The Masters always work with people；
never against them。
