1. Don’t be suspicious of people you employ, and don’t use people you are suspicious of.

2. Don’t take away your position if you have it; don’t talk about it when you are in Huizhou.

(If you give me this position, don’t interfere with my responsibilities; since you ask me to do this, don’t make any remarks)

From - Song Chen Liang's " "On the Way of Openness and Honesty": "I hope that your majesty will be open-minded and sincere, and you will be sincere when you are happy. If you doubt it, don't use it. If you use it, don't doubt it. If you give it to someone, don't take away the position. When you are appointed to Huizhou, don't say anything."
