Eight things one should never do in life: do not chase the wind; do not be greedy for money; do not plagiarize writings; do not insult teachers; do not betray friends; do not buy official positions; do not flatter those above you; do not look down on those below you.
In terms of mindset, we each rely on our own means of living: you depend on your gold, while I depend on my tools for making a living.
We should not blindly compare ourselves with others, because only then can we maintain a peaceful and contented mind. Do not set your life goals unrealistically high, and happiness will remain by your side. Do not deliberately pursue perfection, and you will stay away from unnecessary suffering. Do not constantly demand too much from yourself, and you will live more freely. A happy life requires three attitudes: be indifferent toward the past, cherish the present, and have faith in the future.
Do not make too many casual connections; having two or three true friends is enough. Do not expect to become friends with everyone. Avoid restlessness; when you have time, travel and read, allowing your surroundings to nurture your mind and knowledge to enrich your soul.
Life is like a dewdrop rolling on a green leaf, small in size yet crystal clear and beautiful.
If you overuse your physical strength, rest will eventually restore it. If you spend beyond your means financially, careful management and increasing income can rebuild your savings. But if you exhaust your credibility, no matter how much effort you make or how much money you spend, you cannot easily regain the trust others once had in you.
