We Are Powerful If We Careful

Our philosopher Laozi in ancient days said: “Softest conquers strongest.” It is, of course, right since it was said by Laozi. The meaning of soft is to know yourself. That is that you do not do anything out of your ability.
If we know we are weak, we do not pretend to be strong. For example, if we are always sick, we must take care of our body more carefully, in sleeping, in eating, in exercising. If we feel that our knowledge is not enough, we must try to find time to improve ourselves based on a motto that as long as we live, we shall learn. Never abandon ourselves to be a useless fellow.
Should you wish to turn your weakness to be in strength, you can do so if you insist, but you need determination, will power and persistence.
Nothing in the world is difficult if you set a will to do. Of course, we must not try to do a thing, which we know is impossible to be fulfilled from the very beginning. Our thought can be on the sky, but our feet must stand firm on the ground.
We wish to catch fish which swims freely on the river, but we cannot catch them by hand, and we have to prepare fish net to seize them.
We must be a person of softness outside, but with a strong mind inside our heart. Only by this way, we can live our life in the society.
