Temperament is merely the sediment of life experiences. Those who have not seen the world often exhibit a hint of timidity and restlessness in their every gesture, while those who have experienced the ups and downs of life carry a certain strength even in silence. This cannot be achieved through imitation; it is the scars that fate has etched upon us that ultimately transform into a calm confidence. The Dao can be understood but not learned, the classics can be read but not recited, a master can be revered but not followed, suffering can be endured but not praised, heaven can be respected but not deceived, people can be befriended but not sought after, fortune can be cultivated but not seized, and power can be borrowed but not taken. By using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall; by using bronze as a mirror, one can correct one's attire; by using people as a mirror, one can clarify gains and losses. In all things, moderation is key; when water is full, it overflows, when the moon is full, it wanes, and when things reach their extreme, they reverse. Seeing through complexity is a skill, choosing simplicity is a realm; act with a heart of non-action while doing things with purpose. When someone establishes a persona, the game has begun; preaching is futile, breaking bones is the best textbook! Reflect in stillness, and hone your skills through experience.
