When man is born,
At the root, he is good.
Everyone's nature is the same
But everyone experiences different things.
If there is no Way,
We will move away from our nature.
The teaching of the Way
Is valuable because it is particular to each man.

"All human beings are limbs of each other,
having been created of one essence.

When time affects a limb with pain,
The other limbs cannot at rest remain.

If thou feel not others misery,
A human being is no name for thee."

成功不会向我们走来,我们必须走向胜利;智慧不会向我们走来,我们必须勤奋思索;快乐不会向我们走来,我们必须用心体验。

Success will not come to us, we must walk towards victory. Wisdom won't just drop in on us, we must rigorously contemplate. Happiness will not just appear, we must use our hearts to experience it.
Translated by Winnie Yu
