Welcome to reality,

If you understand others
you are smart.
If you understand yourself
you are illuminated.
If you overcome others
you are powerful.
If you overcome yourself
you have strength.
If you know how to be satisfied
you are rich.
If you can act with vigor,
you have a will.
If you don't lose your objectives
you can be long-lasting.
If you die without loss,
you are eternal.

Tao Te Ching (33)
