8. 但曾国藩清楚，官保是皇帝倚重的亲信，与他为敌，必然是自讨苦吃。因此，每次官保刁难，他都俯身贴耳，态度恭谨。官保的要求，他都尽量满足，不让对方有找茬的机会。

8. But Zeng Guofan was well aware that the officials he protected were the trusted confidants of the emperor, and to be at odds with them would undoubtedly be to court disaster.

After withdrawal, one should deeply cultivate and accumulate strength, and then seek opportunities to rise again.

19. The process of human growth is a continuous act of lowering one's status and dealing with the world in a soft manner.
