Allowing others to succeed can, in turn, facilitate your own great success. This is the leadership philosophy of Zeng Guofan. If one cannot inspire respect through character and actions, how can one expect to foster unity?
Achieving unity within a collective requires both mental effort and physical exertion; it is a task that is both arduous and long-term. If you lack the necessary qualities and skills, you should not speak of unity, as it will only undermine your credibility. To fail to unite people is akin to undermining your own foundation. It seems the saying "Unity is strength" deserves profound consideration. In fact, unity is a force, and disunity is also a force. The difference is that the former gathers strength while the latter disperses it. Whether one gathers or scatters depends on whether centripetal or centrifugal forces prevail.
Indeed, unity is strength. Only through tolerance can one embrace others, and only through breadth of character can one sustain great things. A shared cause and common struggle can empower people with the strength to endure any hardship.
