It’s good to become a scholar and not a soldier.
It’s good to be a fighter and not indignant.
It’s good to be able to be victorious over your adversary but to give concessions to them.

Good servants act “under” or less-than.
(They do not strive to be more than they are.)

To speak of “living up to expectations” is to speak of “De” (or goodness and virtue).
To speak of servants is to speak of power.
To speak of deserving Heaven, is to speak of the extremely old.
