Effort can be categorized into three levels: doing one's best, going all out, and leaving no stone unturned. People are often driven by necessity. In most people's lives, it is not a lack of opportunities to create wealth, but a lack of preparation. Building wealth through business is a gradual process. Life is inherently simple and plain. Relax your mind and enjoy the tranquility; within simplicity lies the truth of life. A gentleman is upright and fearless, possessing a broad mind; a petty person is constantly worried about gains and losses, preoccupied with schemes and self-troubled by suspicion, often trapped in anxiety. Why do people notice when a gentleman makes a mistake? It is like a white shirt; even a tiny stain is highly visible. People hold a high expectation that a gentleman should be flawless. While they are willing to forgive unintentional mistakes if the person seeks to correct them, they will condemn those who refuse to change, seeing it as intentional malice. Among heaven and earth, labor comes first. In everything you do, seek only a clear conscience. When throwing stones upward, watch your own head. People often struggle to let go of fame, possessions, or even trivial objects. Yet, in the end, everything—including youth and life itself—will be lost. What is there to cling to?
