The best people are like water. Water is good at nourishing everything without competing with it, staying in places that people don't like, so it is closest to the Tao. The best people are those who are best at choosing their place of residence, who are good at keeping calm and unfathomable, who are good at treating others sincerely, lovingly and selflessly, who are good at keeping their promises, who are good at streamlining administration, who are good at governing the country, who are good at exerting their strengths and who are good at seizing opportunities in action. The best people do what they do because they have indisputable virtues, so there is no fault or blame.
