Stay vigilant in times of peace, find joy in leisure, get checkups even when healthy, drink water even when not thirsty, yield when you are right, stay humble when you have power, rest even when not tired, be content even when not wealthy, remain calm even when not happy, exercise no matter how busy, stay low-key no matter how popular, maintain poise even when annoyed, Persist no matter the difficulty, endure no matter the hardship, have ambition even when poor, have integrity even when weak, stay cautious even when successful, and practice what you preach.
