3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Consider these teachings from Tao Te Ching


These are the teachings a lot of Chinese people live by. That's why you'll hardly see Chinese people flaunting their wealth. And why when you say something good or nice about them, they say "no, it's a fluke" or "it's just luck". They take the opposite track and appear humble.

But how many people do you are are like this?


Isn't it amazing that a "Way of Life" written by someone before 220 A.D. still applies today?

Why is it that after centuries of development, man hasn't really changed much? How come when most of the older generation Chinese are humble and live simply, the new generation forgot these teachings and now flaunt their wealth, their new cellphones, watches, cars, etc.?

Then they complain when people are envious of them or scratches their cars. Sometimes it's worse, they get kidnapped!

It seems that man's development runs in cycles, one generations learns from the mistakes of their elders, but the new generation forgets those lessons and makes the same mistakes.

Funny isn't it?
