I have Three Treasures,
Which I hold fast and watch over closely.
The first is Mercy.
The second is Frugality.
The third is Daring to Be Not First in the World.
Because I am merciful,
I can be brave.
Because I am frugal,
I can be generous.
Because I dare not to be first,
I can lead.

Tao Te Che, # 67
