**Vision**
A great tree does not compete with grass. Too much criticism loses friends; too much cunning leads nowhere. A general’s sword is not meant for killing flies.
When you meet toxic people, walk away. When you face pointless troubles, cut your losses. Follow flies, you find filth; follow bees, you find flowers. Walk with the wealthy, you learn to build; walk with beggars, you learn to beg.
Dead fish drift with the current; living fish swim against it. At a low level, skill matters; at a middle level, character counts; at the highest level, vision defines.
Vision is the inner landscape of one’s mind, heart, and courage. With a broad vision, you see far, act wisely, and live with grace. Do not dwell on the trivial. Do not lose yourself in the moment. Rise above—and live with purpose.
