All your schemes are like thin ice melting
The poem
營圖萬事若冰澌何必慳貪苦所為只好靜心閑處坐待他興變復奚疑
In English
All your schemes are like thin ice melting.Why be stingy and grasping, working so hard?It is better to sit quietly in a calm placeand wait for the change; why doubt it?
What it says
The poem says that your many schemes are like thin ice, and asks why strain so much and cling so tightly. Sitting quietly and waiting for matters to shift is wiser. It encourages less calculation and more calm during unstable times.
A thought to take with you
Calculate and worry less; settle your mind and watch how things shift before acting.
