Having control over others is power; having control over yourself is dominion

The idea that power over other people is less important and difficult to achieve than power over one's own thoughts, emotions, and actions.  Control over others : This refers to the ability to influence or direct the behavior of other people. This type of control can be achieved through various means, such as authority, persuasion, manipulation, or even force.  Control over oneself: This type of autonomy is a much deeper and more difficult form of power to achieve. It requires awareness, discipline, self-control, and the ability to manage one's inner impulses and reactions.  The proverb emphasizes that true power does not lie in external control but in inner freedom and the ability to master oneself. Self-control is a prerequisite for personal development, happiness, and success.  An angry, aggressive person may have "power" over others, but he is not in control of himself.  A successful entrepreneur can lead a large team, but if he cannot manage his time and emotions, he has not achieved true "mastery."  The proverb reminds us that the most decisive battle we must win is the one with ourselves. Developing self-control and discipline is the key to true personal growth and achieving inner peace.  Is this exactly what the author wanted to say in the book <The Wealth of the Great Kingdom>? To understand, you have to read the book.
