Be busy without being disorganized, and weary without being dispirited

Be busy but happy and tired but joyful

It’s fine to be busy: just don’t let it get on your nerves

Work swiftly, but don’t tense up; relax your body and mind and never tighten up

Work swiftly in an orderly fashion; never compete with time in a nervous flurry

To take on tough tasks, one must prepare to tough out complaints, and to be in charge is to be in for criticism. Yet complaints help foster compassion and patience, and criticism often holds golden advice

Stay at ease under all circumstances, and give whenever conditions allow

All the ups and downs of life are nourishing experiences for our growth

Rectify deviations with wisdom; accommodate other s with compassion

If the mountain won’t move, build a road around it. If the road won’t turn, change your path. If you are unable to even change your path, just transform your mind.

A passing boat leaves no trace upon the waters; a bird’s flight leaves no trace in the sky

When fleeting success failure, gain or loss leaves no trace upon the heart, the great wisdom of liberation has been achieved

Who is willing to be openly exploited is noble-minded; who is insulted and insidiously exploited is dim-witted

Pressure usually steams from caring too much about externals and other people’s opinion
Offer your service with a heart of gratitude, as if repaying a kindness, then you won’t feel weary or tired

Always feel gratitude in your heart, and give unstintingly of your wealth, physical strength, mental effort and wisdom
