“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize.

The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle, and you can be bold; be frugal, and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others, and you can become a leader among men.”

― Lao Tzu

This reminds me of Sidhartha's 3 skills, Knowing how to:

1. Think

2. Fast

3. Wait

Comparing them suggests that right thought is gentle, frugality's ultimate expression is fasting, and waiting requires humility enough to surrender to divine timing.
