"The Book of Commandments" in vernacular:

A person with moral cultivation relies on inner peace to cultivate his body and mind, and cultivates his noble character through frugality and saving money. If you are not calm and have few desires, you will not be able to clarify your ambitions, and if you do not eliminate external interference, you will not be able to achieve lofty goals.

Studying requires concentration and concentration, and talent comes from diligent study. If you don't study, you can't grow your talents, and if you don't clarify your ambitions, you can't achieve success in learning. Indulgence and dissipation, negativity and neglect cannot encourage the mind and spirit; careless adventure, impatience and restlessness cannot cultivate one's temperament.

The years fly by with time, and the will gradually disappears with the years. In the end, they become withered and scattered. Most of them have no contact with the world and are not used by society. They can only sadly be trapped in their own poor and ruined homes. How can they regret it at that time?

Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms

Original text:

The Master of the Husband Walk, be quiet to cultivate your character, be thrifty to cultivate your virtue. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal. Learning requires tranquility, and talent requires learning. Without learning, there is no way to expand talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning. If you are impatient and slow, you will not be able to stimulate your essence, and if you are dangerous and impetuous, you will not be able to cure your nature. Years go with the times, thoughts go with the sun, and they become withered and withered. Many people do not take on the world, and they stay in the poor house with sadness. How will they be able to get back to you!
