Everybody says that my Great Way seems worthless.
In fact, it's only great *because* it seems worthless.
If it *were* worthless, it would have disappeared long ago!
I have three treasures: preserve and protect them.
The first is called "love",
the second is called "moderation",
the third is called "not daring to have invented it all first".
Love, I say, can be brave;
moderation, I say, can be generous;
not daring to have invented it all first
can develop high-quality tools.
Nowadays people discard love and courage,
discard moderation and generosity,
discard following and leading --
that way lies death, indeed.
With love, truly:
struggle brings success,
defense brings endurance.
Heaven helps those who use love,
guards them.
