How to achieve life goals from the Three Jewels of the Tao Te Ching

Hello.

Chapter 67 of "Tao Te Ching":

. . . . . .

I have three treasures, which I hold on to and protect:

The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world.

. . . . . .

I tried to explain:

I have three treasures that I will never give up: one is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is not to be aggressive.

Laozi proposed the "Three Treasures" as his theoretical basis. Compassion is the starting point and destination of the "Three Treasures"; frugality in life and simplicity in government are the key to the "Three Treasures"; only if one "does not dare to be the first in the world" can he be the first in everything, this is the core of Lao Tzu's "Three Treasures".

Compassion: Love from above is called kindness. Here, Laozi's love for all living beings, common people, and all nations is the basis of his theory.

If parents are majestic and kind, then their children will be cautious and filial. ——"Yan Family Instructions"

Frugality: self-discipline and not indulgence. Code of Conduct

A gentleman takes refuge in frugality. ——"The Book of Changes, Fu Xiang Zhuan"

Don't dare to be the first in the world: Lao Tzu's principle is to live without fighting. The greatest goodness is like water. Water benefits all things without dispute. Only then can we reach the core of Laozi’s Three Treasures.

I am like this, and we ordinary people should be like this even more.
