  27. Happiness is a byproduct of trying to make others happy. Wisdom comes from listening and regret comes from speaking. Talking a lot is different from talking well. Therefore, to climb to the highest point, you have to start from the lowest point. You should learn how to train yourself from a professional. Everything that looks so fragile on the outside is real power. Everyone has the power to do certain things, but it is difficult to do them easily. Try not to subjugate people by force, but to subjugate people by virtue.
