In life, knowing what to avoid leads to steadiness and wisdom.
Do not belittle others—words can wound.
Do not spoil your children; independence is the root of growth.
In marriage, avoid contempt; respect keeps love warm.
A family needs rules; without them, chaos grows.
Parents should love without indulgence.
Teachers must not be negligent, nor students addicted to screens.
Officials should not abuse power, judges must stay impartial, and police must not be brutal.
Businessmen should not sell fakes; artists should avoid vulgarity; actors should uphold dignity.
Investors should not gamble recklessly; doctors must not be greedy; drivers must not lose their temper.
Friendship withers with suspicion; success fades with giving up.
Do not be frivolous in work, stubborn in mistakes, careless in learning, arrogant in treatment of others, or boastful in speech.
Eat in moderation; speak with sincerity.
These twenty-four cautions are not chains, but shields.
Heed them, and life becomes broader and lighter.
