your power lies in your ability to control your emotions once someone has command over your inner world they become your master protect your reputation at all costs when it is strong your rivals will seldom challenge you when it is weak attacks will come from all corners [Music] stamp out the embers before they become ablaze do not make decisions when clouded by emotion wait for a clearing and then act be adaptable in your rule the tides of change are unceasing and will slowly erode any rigid structures that stand against it be fluid or risk being turned
