I've had this gorgeous red leather volume of the Tao Te Ching (pictured above) sitting on my desk untouched for many months.

这本精致的革制《道德经》放在我书桌上已经好几个月了。

Lao Tzu, the Great ancient Chinese thinker, once observed in his well-known work, the Tao te Ching, "he who knows others is intelligent; he who knows himself is wise."

中国古代伟大的思想家老子在《道德经》中说过：“知人者智，自知者明。”意思是说，了解别人叫明智，认识自己才是高明。

当你认识到你什么也不缺时，全世界都是你的。
