Tao Te Ching Chapter 44: Which is closer to life and disaster? Which is more important than life or profit? Which is greater, calamity or happiness? The answers to these questions are not clear. Too often, people neglect long-term benefits for the sake of immediate gains, leading to even greater disasters. Only by knowing how to be happy can we avoid unnecessary troubles and maintain long-term happiness. Tao Te Ching Chapter 45: The atmosphere is invisible, but it has a huge effect. It's like a container that holds everything. It's so broad, yet it's so simple. Elephants are like the atmosphere, seemingly ordinary, but containing infinite power. Only as simple and straightforward as an elephant can make the most difference. Pretending to be high will only make people feel cold, while the real nobility is indifference to fame and fortune. Only by maintaining a pure heart can you become a noble person and make a real contribution to the world. Tao Te Ching Chapter 46: When there is a way under heaven, people will become as elegant as a phoenix, but when there is no way under heaven, people can only live like horses in the suburbs. There is no greater evil than incontentment, and no greater evil than greed. Only by knowing how to be content can we have true happiness. Only by maintaining peace of mind can you avoid unnecessary troubles and become a truly successful person. Chapter 47 of the Tao Te Ching: By knowing the affairs of the world without going out, you can understand the true meaning of the way of heaven. Only by achieving inner peace can we truly understand the nature of the world. Only by maintaining peace of mind can you avoid unnecessary troubles and become a truly successful person. Chapter 48 of the Tao Te Ching: Through practice, saints can understand the true meaning of the way of heaven. They are not only wise, but also virtuous. Only through continuous practice can one become a truly successful person. Tao Te Ching Chapter 49: Only those who are at peace of mind can possess true wisdom.
