Patience

Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

One thought on “Patience”

Great quote, Karl. It’s very different from what typically advocated “pro-active” approach. This quote emphasizes on self refrain and strategic action. Pretty profound. Thanks for sharing.
