11. Peace
The Lines
1. [9] When a capable person sets out to accomplish things
in propitious times, good helpers are attracted to the possibilities and join
in gladly in the work that needs to be done. Good people want to be a part of a
flourishing enterprise, and are gladly connected to the leader with similar
objectives.
2. [9] Every person is able to contribute something to an
enterprise, if they have a willing attitude. A leader, therefore, bears with
those of lesser ability and tries to draw from them whatever they are capable
of contributing. There is much work to be done, and some of it is quite
difficult. Hence, everyone's contribution is needed and of value, and the
attention of all should be directed towards the goals of the enterprise, not
merely personal advancement.
3. [9] Good fortune never moves forward forever. There are
always setbacks and periods of decline. Therefore, in times of good fortune,
the wise leader is always aware that it will sooner or later run its course.
And through whatever turns of Fate that come his way, he remains steadfast and
focused on his worthy objectives.
4. [6] In times of success, the good leader is still
approachable. He is not carried away by his good fortune and does not focus on
his own advancement. He is generous to the lowly, because he knows that every
man, regardless of his station, has a role to play and a contribution to make
in this world.
5. [6] A person of great ability is capable of working under
the direction of someone of lesser status without asserting their superiority.
Such a submissive relationship is conducive to harmony and permits the
accomplishment of necessary tasks.
Top [6] Change brings about the end of good fortune and
prosperity. Decline is inevitable, and violent resistance would only make
matters worse. All a person can do is keep to his worthy goals and be
supportive of those around him that are in agreement with his intentions.
