VIRTUE will be genuine when one cultivates oneself.
VIRTUE will thrive when one cultivates oneself with her family.
VIRTUE will grow rich when one cultivates oneself with his village.
VIRTUE will abound when one cultivates oneself with her nation.
VIRTUE will flourish universally when one cultivates oneself with all people under Heaven.

For my own sense of satisfaction I need more than just this one show - even though it’s a solo - to have on my plate this year. Maybe I am crazy to think so…
