Original text: The journey of a husband and a gentleman is to cultivate one’s character through tranquility and cultivate one’s virtue through frugality. 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.

Translation: 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. Learning 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.
