"私には三つの大切なものがあります。これらをしっかりと持ち、尊重しています。第一は優しさ、第二は倹約、第三は謙虚さです。これが私を他人の前に出さないようにしてくれます。優しければ大胆になれるし、倹約すれば寛大になれるし、他人の前に出ないようにすれば人々のリーダーになれます。"
— Laozi
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you have three important values that guide how you live your life. The first value is being kind and gentle. Treating others with kindness helps build trust and makes people more likely to support and follow you, even when you need to make tough decisions. The second value is living simply and not wasting what you have. By not overspending or being extravagant, you can share your resources with others when they need help. This makes you generous and dependable. The third value is staying humble and not placing yourself above others. By respecting and listening to others, you gain their respect and trust, which can make you a good leader. Think about a good friend who is always kind, never wastes their money, and treats everyone equally. This friend is loved and respected, and people look up to them. By following these values, you too can become a strong, respected person who can make a positive impact on those around you.
