I wrote up my personal philosophy on translating ancient texts, as informed by being raised in a religious environment that had a very unhealthy relationship to its texts. https://xn--hmr.net/classicalchinese/translationphilosophy/

When you are poor, take care of your soul; when you are rich, take care of the world. — Mengzi (Mencius)

Two thousand year old #opsec advice:
Hoping that others will not hear is not the same as not speaking; hoping others won’t find out is not the same as not doing.
(from the Book of Han, a history book authored by a brother-sister pair)

I did a little translation exercise of Mengzi: "故天将降大任于是人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为..."
"When Heaven means to plunge someone into great responsibility, it first torments their mind, wearies their bones, starves their skin, drains their wealth and disrupts their life."
So I expect I'll be promoted to queen of the world any second now...
