1. Simple and unparalleled in beauty. If a person can maintain his simple nature, then he is the most perfect person in the world.

3. There is no happiness in the world, no reputation in the world. The greatest happiness is to get rid of the so-called happiness of the world, and the highest honor is to get rid of the so-called honor of the world. If we can put down worldly money, beauty, power, and honor, maybe we will experience the true happiness in life.
4. The whole world praises the person without admonishing him, and the whole world criticizes the person without discouraging him. Even if people all over the world praise him, he will not work harder because of it. Even if people all over the world oppose him, he will not be discouraged.

6. It is easy to disappear, but difficult to go without movement. Of course, if you don't walk, you won't leave any traces, but if you want to walk and leave no traces, it will be difficult. Each of us must be responsible for what we have done, and we cannot do things without considering the consequences. This is "karma responsibility."
7. Knowing that there is nothing you can do and being content with your fate, only the virtuous can do it.

In life and work, you will inevitably encounter insurmountable difficulties. Accepting the reality calmly is the wisdom in life.
8. Take the small and invincible as the great prosperity. On some small issues, do not compete with worldly people for victory or defeat, but achieve victory in big aspects is the real victory. Fighting for a little human benefit is what a wise man is not willing to do. If you see a higher goal with a detached mentality, you can achieve greater victory.
9. Husbands who work together for benefit will abandon each other due to poverty and misfortune.

10. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, while the friendship between villains is sweet.
