Do good without always asking what lies ahead. Let nature take its course, for life has its ups and downs. Borrow with integrity, repay with grace—trust is built on small acts of honor.
A simple carrying pole can sustain a lifetime. Whether your means are small or large, remain steady and humble. Gold and jade may glitter, but wise and virtuous children are the true treasure. New clothes please the eye, but old friends warm the heart.
With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. Let your children live their own lives—do not sacrifice yours for theirs. True love lies in letting go.
Hunt by burning the forest, and you may gain much today, but nothing tomorrow. In all things, think far ahead, act with heart, and leave the world better than you found it.
