"The Book of Commandments"
Original text:
Husband A gentleman's journey is to cultivate one's character through tranquility and cultivate one's virtue through frugality. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no way to reach far. Learning requires tranquility, and talent requires learning. Without learning, there is no way to expand talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning. If you are impatient and slow, you will not be able to stimulate your essence, and if you are dangerous and impetuous, you will not be able to cure your nature. Years go with the times, thoughts go with the sun, and they become withered and withered. Many people do not take on the world, and they stay in the poor house with sadness. How will they be able to get back to you!
