He who desires the admiration of the
world will do well to amass a great
fortune and then give it away.
The world will respond with admiration
in proportion to the size
of his treasure.
Of course, this is meaningless.
Stop striving after admiration.
Place your esteem on the Tao.
Live in accord with it,
share with others the teachings
that lead to it,
and you will be immersed in the blessings
that flow from it.
