English Version
Vision is the breadth of one’s soul.
If you wish to grow into a great tree, do not waste energy competing with weeds. Being too critical drives friends away; being too shrewd leaves you no path. A general’s sword is not meant for killing flies. When you meet toxic people, walk away. When you encounter futile matters, cut your losses.
You become what you follow. Follow flies, and you’ll end up in filth. Follow bees, and you’ll find flowers. Walk with the wealthy, and you’ll learn to earn. Beg with beggars, and you’ll learn to beg. Dead fish drift with the current; living ones swim against it.
At the lowest level, people judge by skill; at the middle, by character; at the highest, by vision. True vision is the inner arrangement of one’s insight, breadth of mind, and courage. With great vision comes great perspective. With great perspective, you can act boldly and live nobly.
May your heart be wide and your steps steady — and may you live with true grace.
