A wise person will always work towards the long and short term benefits
of both themselves and others. However, it is sometimes meaningful to embrace even the actions that might only bring temporal relief. For instance, when monkeys get out from a hot spring, they know that rather than rush straight into the cold they should keep themselves warm for a moment, and this short term goal becomes their priority for a moment. So, like these monkeys we should always be flexible to adjust to the changing conditions of life and this is also the way to bring about success.
