Treating folly kindly brings good fortune. Be patient with the ignorant, friend. For instance, if you have children, learn to accept their shortcomings. Give them a good education, be there when they need you, and your family life will prosper. Also, regard your associates kindly, especially if they have not achieved what you have. Otherwise it will be difficult to be modest and kind in dealing with their mistakes. It is precisely this type of inner strength combined with outer reserve which creates true leadership.
