Walk your own path with care. The partner you choose, cherish with patience. Friendships thrive on mutual support. Happiness is felt, not chased—let go and see clearly. Worries often come from within; learn to forget. A calm mind is forged through life’s trials. Nurture friendships with sincerity. Success demands effort; failure is but a lesson—take it lightly.
Speak not your whole heart; reserve three parts for yourself. You may paint a tiger’s skin, but not its bones. You may know a face, but not the heart. Friends may fill the world, yet true ones are rare. Wine and meat draw companions, but trouble reveals who stays.
The poor are ignored on busy streets; the rich find kin in distant hills. Time tests a horse’s endurance and reveals a person’s heart. Drink little with close friends, and think twice before speaking. Harsh words breed trouble.
Parents’ love runs deep; a spouse’s bond ties heart to heart. Raising children is both duty and legacy. Life is but a dream—decades pass in a blink. Gold and fame vanish like smoke. Endure hardship, but never mistake false friends for true ones.
