"En demeurant, vis près du sol. En réfléchissant, reste simple. En conflit, sois juste et généreux. En gouvernant, ne cherche pas à contrôler. Au travail, fais ce que tu aimes. Dans la vie de famille, sois complètement présent."

Laozi

Simplified Meaning:

This quote is about living a balanced and fulfilling life by focusing on simplicity, fairness, enjoyment, and being present. It suggests in your home life, you should keep things simple and not too fancy. In your thoughts, try not to overcomplicate things; focus on the basics. During disagreements, aim to be just and kind. If you have a position of power, don’t micromanage or try to dominate others. When choosing a job, do something that you love and are passionate about. With your family, make sure you are truly there, giving them your full attention without distractions. For example, think of a family dinner. Instead of planning a complex meal, cook something simple but nutritious. Discuss everyday happenings with an open mind and listen without jumping to conclusions. If a disagreement occurs, solve it by listening to everyone’s point of view and offering fair solutions. As a parent, allow your kids some freedom rather than trying to control every aspect of their lives. If you are working, choose a job that makes you happy, even if it pays less. During dinner, put away your phone so you can enjoy the time with your family. This way, everyone feels valued and life is more enjoyable.
