[b]Transcending Decline
Holding to fullness
Is not as good as stopping in time.
Sharpness that probes
Cannot protect for long.
A house filled with riches
Cannot be defended.
Pride in wealth and position
Is overlooking one's collapse.
Withdrawing when success is achieved
Is the way in Nature.

Overeating to excess is bad for health,
There is an opportune moment for success,
Not by intelligence alone,
But understanding of circumstances,
And turning resources, cultures, passions,
Into implementation for success,
If one cannot do so and cling on to power,
That will be against mother nature for success.
