  • Caigentan 116. Advancing through retreat

    August 6, 2025

    •

    Juan

    Adopt a semblance of stupidity in order to disguise your real talents. Hide your acumen under the cover of seeming dullness. Put on a mask of muddiness in order to conceal your real clarity. Use the method of temporary retreat to make later advance.

    August 5, 2025

    Juan

    The true hero does not neglect small details; nor does he commit trickery even though he is hidden from men’s sight; nor does he slacken his efforts even when beset by seemingly insuperable difficulties.

    It is better to incur hatred by one’s upright conduct than to please others by perverting your morals.

    Never transgress against public opinion which is in line with righteousness; to do so is to bring everlasting shame on oneself.
