If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collide with his own skiff,&nbsp;

even though he be a bad temper man,&nbsp;

he will not become very angry,&nbsp;

but if he sees a man in the boat he will shout at him to steer clear.

Yet if the boat were empty,&nbsp;

he would not be shouting neither angry

If you can empty your own boat crossing the river of the world&nbsp;

no one will oppose you,&nbsp;

no one will seek to harm you.&nbsp;
