If a better system is thine, impart it; if not, make use of

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of being open-minded and receptive to new ideas. If one possesses a superior system or solution to a problem, they should share it with others for the collective benefit. On the other hand, if someone else's system or solution is superior, one should be willing to acknowledge that and make use of it rather than clinging to their own perspectives or methods. It promotes humility, cooperation, and a willingness to learn from others for the overall improvement of ideas and systems.
