Before one may rise to a position of leadership, one must first invest the time to thoroughly understand and earnestly embrace the role of a subordinate — accumulating knowledge, gathering experience, and cultivating patience. This is wisdom born of diligent labor, endured in silence and without complaint.
When one has attained complete readiness in all respects, great undertakings shall be accomplished with success — a reward that arises from perseverance and long-sustained practice, pursued without wavering and without yielding to the temptation of abandonment midway.
