When people see some things as beautiful,other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master acts without effortand teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and he lets them come;
things disappear and he lets them go.
He has but doesn't possess,acts but doesn't expect.
When his work is done, he forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
[For Personal Development]
- Beauty is defined by something being seen as ugly. Good and bad are two sides of the same coin.
- Opposites are judgments of the human mind, make one and you also make the other.
- Yin and Yang coexist at any given time. Be human: accept your weaknesses.
- Accomplish much by trying less.
[For Coaching]
- See each client as a whole person; unconditionally celebrate their strengths and accept their weaknesses.
- It's perfectly normal to run into a few stumbling blocks on a fast track.
- As a coach, don’t attach to an outcome. The client does the work and is responsible for his/her outcomes.
- Be present and, in the dance with the client, things will arise naturally.
- Be a role model.
