11. Those who lack basic cultivation and only focus on superficial charm often appear vulgar and are primary targets for social rectification.
12. Those who avoid reality will face an even less ideal future.
13. The heights achieved and maintained by great people are not reached in a single leap, but through arduous, step-by-step climbing while their companions are asleep.
14. The fastest pace is not a leap, but persistence; the slowest pace is not small steps, but hesitation. If one focuses too much on their own wounds, they will forget to grasp the hand others extend. One should not be like a plastic bag, always pretending to be something they are not.
15. Poverty can sometimes be a catalyst for success.
16. Do not live in hope of luck, nor sink into the adversity of reality. Life's path has no choice; whether smooth or bumpy, you must keep walking.
17. Money is indispensable in human life; it can bring material desires, prestige, and influence. Thus, everyone loves money, even the virtuous. However, money is both an angel and a devil; it can make you a slave to it, lead you to lose yourself, or even land you in prison. Money can buy luxury villas, but not inner peace; it can buy a beautiful smile, but not faithful love; it can bring guests to your door, but not pure friendship.
18. Gems are scattered across the earth; if you do not reach for them, they will never be yours.
19. The clearer the water, the fewer the fish; the more cunning the person, the less wisdom they possess.
20. For those who fail to seize opportunities, opportunities are like waves rushing into the vast ocean, or unhatched eggs, eventually disappearing.
21. A true friend will hold your hand and touch your heart.
22. Wealth is not a lifelong friend, but friends are your lifelong wealth.
23. As the saying goes, "A lamp won't light unless touched, and truth won't be clear unless debated." Yet, if foolish people argue, they only become more confused. Therefore, if you do not understand, do not pretend to; if you wish to understand, seek those who do. The most difficult situation is when a leader does not understand and does not seek clarity, leaving you to pretend ignorance even if you know the truth.
24. Slowly, you will realize how tedious idle time can be, lacking the fulfillment of your student years.
25. Take time to help others; it will bring many benefits to you.
