From now on, and since that first article, I will try to find the most famous chinese proverbs, well at least those I like the most, and share all these quotations with you. There will be really short ones, but it doesn’t matter, chinese philosophers didn’t really need many words to say wise sentences.

« Running a large country is like cooking a small fish. »

I’m not a philosopher and I might not understand the meaning of this sentence from Lao Zi, but I guess it means that each of us has talents, skills, and even a man who can run a country might not be able to cook a fish.

 I’m not really used to talk about myself and my personnal thoughts here, first because I don’t really like it, second because I don’t know what and how to write. I’m not going to start today, but there is just a famous quote from Lao Zi that I appreciate so much that… I just wanted to share it…

« Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream. »

Sounds so close to the way I feel and try to behave… Smart guy that Lao Zi!
