"The wise stand out, because they see themselves as part of the Whole.
They shine, because they don't want to impress.
They achieve great things, because they don't look for recognition.
Their wisdom is contanined in what they are, not their opinions.
They refuse to argue, so no one argues with them."-
-Lao Tzu
Listening,, yielding, cooperatin, being open, seeking the best possible outcomes--these "yin" aspects must balance the go-getting "yang" force that has given us civilization as we know it. The integration of the two will be a mark of the new leader, whose credibility rests not on what they say or even what they has so far achieved: "Their wisdom is contained in what they are."

They shine, because they don't want to impress
