Waiting for the right time. If you act when the time comes, you will be able to achieve the position of being a minister; if you act when the opportunity arises, you will be able to achieve unparalleled achievements; if you don't meet him, you will be dead.

Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette are originally one body and cannot be separated.

His behavior is enough to show his appearance, his wisdom is enough to resolve suspicions, his trustworthiness is enough to keep promises, and his integrity is enough to distribute wealth. This person is a noble person. He who sees disapproval but does not hesitate to avoid it, sees benefit but does not obtain it, keeps his duties without abandoning them, and does justice without turning back, this person is outstanding.

3. Cultivate one's moral character and cultivate one's ambition

Abstain from abstinence, so you can get rid of fatigue. Suppression is not a harm to evil, so it is a fault. Derogatory wine and poor appearance, so there is no pollution. Avoid suspicion so don't make mistakes. Be knowledgeable and ask questions, so you know a lot. High practice means low words, so practice.

The art of being determined and committed: never be good at making plans; never be content with enduring humiliation; never be willing to practice virtue first; never be happy to do good; be spiritual. There is no need for God to be sincere; no knowledge to be clear to the body; no good luck to contentment; no suffering to be due to many wishes.

5. Pursue benevolence and righteousness

Those who are virtuous as shepherds will gather, and those who will punish others as they lead will disperse; if small treasures are not rewarded, great achievements will not be accomplished; if small grudges are not forgiven, then big grudges will inevitably arise; Those who are unwilling to reward others and punish them unwillingly will rebel; those who are rewarded will have no merit, and those who are punished without guilt will be cruel; those who listen to slander will be beautiful, and those who are enemies will perish after hearing advice; those who can have what they have are safe, and those who are greedy for what others have have will be crippled.

6. Be content with etiquette

He who frees himself and teaches others will be disobedient; he who corrects himself and transforms others will be obedient. It is difficult to follow those who are against it, and it is easy to follow those who follow it. If it is difficult to follow, it will be chaos, and if it is easy to follow, it will be logical.

Resentment comes from refusing to forgive small mistakes; disaster comes from not making careful plans beforehand; happiness comes from accumulating good deeds; disaster comes from doing too much injustice.
