.: Carol Orsborn: How Would Confucius Ask for a Raise?_part 5 :.

In Search of Greatness
The wise man gladly leaves fame to others. He does not seek to have credited to himself things that stand accomplished, but hopes to release active force; that is, he completes his works in such a manner that they may bear fruit for the future.
(I Ching)



Balance and Productivity

The superior man reduces that which is too much, and augments that which is too litlle. He weighs things and makes them equal.
(I Ching)



Inner Peace and Spiritual Practice

The influence on others must proceed from one's own person. In order to be capable of producing such an influence, one's words must have power, and this they can have only if they are based on something real, just as flame depends on its fuel.
(I Ching)
