On acceptance
The highest excellence is like (that of) water. The excellence of water appears in its benefiting all things, and in its occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike. Hence (its way) is near to (that of) the Tao.
Tao Te Ching · Chapter 8 8Sanskrit: public domain · English tr. James Legge (public domain)
What it means
Be like water: it benefits everything, competes with nothing, and settles where others won't.
