Tao Translation In Modern Words--#42

Power flows down
to every level of existence
like a river to the ocean.

Victory comes from lying perfectly still
and waiting for power to come your way.

If you yield to someone less powerful than yourself,
you will be in a position to influence them.
If you submit to someone more powerful than yourself,
you create an opportunity to get your own way.
So if you want to get ahead,
lay low and bide your time.

That way, everybody's happy.
