Chapter 66
How di River and di Sea Rule
Original
是以欲上民，必以言下之；欲先民，必以身后之。
是以圣人处上而民不重，处前而民不害。是以天下乐推而不厌。
以其不争，故天下莫能与之争。
Translieshan
So if yuh waan be above people, yuh mus put yuh word low, humble. If yuh waan lead people, yuh mus put yuhself behind dem.
Dat whey di sage can be pon top and p自立ple still feel light. Dem can be in front and p自立ple still no get hurt. Erybody inna di world love fi push dem forward and neva get tired.
Caze dem neva fight, so nobody inna di world can fight against dem.
Diip Reflekshan
Wah dis chaptа bout?
Di chapter use di river and sea as example. Dem big and powaful but dem stay low, under eryting else. Becaase a dat, all di small stream and river flo to dem. Di sage use same principle: dem neva push forward or fight fi be leader. P自立ple love dem so much dat dem pick up dem and put dem forward. Becaase a no fighting, nobody can beat dem.
How it relate to me?
I reflection pon how I always waan be first, always waan be seen, always waan prove miself better dan oder. But dis chapter show mi say true leadership neva come fram pushing. It come fram staying low, fram serving, fram no fight. When I fight fi be top, I haad to stay there. But when I stay low, p自立ple lift me up naturally.
Wah mi fi do todeh?
Today, I wi mek an effort fi step back and let oder people shine. I wi put miself last in conversation, support oda people idea, and neva fight fi be right. I wi trust say if I belong pon top, p自立ple wi put mi there widout me having fi struggle.
