Choose wisely whom you associate with, what books you read, what words you listen to, and what actions you follow.

A person's happiness is not because they have much, but because they compare less.

Anger is taking someone else's mistake to punish yourself. Forgive others is to treat yourself kindly.

It's not necessarily that those who have more are happier; a simple life brings true freedom from worries and troubles.

Always think of your own mistakes; don't talk about the mistakes of others; be willing to suffer like a noble man; be willing to lose out like an honest man; respect those who are virtuous and show off their virtues only then will people see your virtues as great deeds.

You don't need to seek achievements in everything; being faultless is achievement enough for a person.

Peace of mind comes from contentment, wealth comes from frugality, good fortune comes from simplicity, longevity comes from few desires.

The heart becomes narrow when one has many desires and wide when one has few desires.

9宁愿清贫自乐，不愿富贵多忧。

10 When deep in thought or feeling superior, it's better to retreat first before acting rashly or making decisions based on emotions alone.

11 One should never exhaust all their power or resources at once nor enjoy all the blessings fate bestows upon them nor occupy all the opportunities available nor use up all one's wisdom at once.

12 Even water can pierce through stone if its effort is persistent and profound enough – not because of strength but due to skillful practice over time.

13 Avoid doing things that make you frown so there won't be any bitter faces towards you either.

14 Seek advice from wise people rather than befriending unscrupulous individuals who may bring harm into your life instead of benefitting it by sharing gossip or excessive drinking alcohol together while keeping doors open for mutual help yet avoiding unnecessary arguments over petty issues speak little about other people's affairs but focus on improving yourself instead spend money sparingly avoid being overly concerned with material possessions let go easily do not cling too tightly always leave room for improvement even if something seems perfect do not get complacent know contentment before seeking external treasures cherish peace cultivate virtue keep a humble spirit live simply live without regrets live in harmony with nature strive for self-improvement learn tolerance practice patience share knowledge spread love embrace change grow mentally become wise give back appreciate simplicity appreciate solitude realize contentment realize inner peace rely on oneself trust oneself improve oneself understand thyself forgive thyself protect thyself strengthen thyself enrich thyself grow spiritually find inner peace nourish body nourish soul nurture mind nurture heart nurture spirit foster growth foster progress pursue happiness achieve balance achieve harmony reach enlightenment
