1. Study and research are like climbing a ladder. You have to climb up step by step. If you try to climb four or five steps at once, you will inevitably fall.

2. Accumulating bits and pieces of flowing water can become a river, accumulating bits and pieces of knowledge can become a sage.

3. Work is accomplished by hard work, but wasteful by playfulness; success is achieved by thinking, and destroyed by casualness.

4. How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without experiencing a bone-chilling cold?

5. A drop of water can penetrate a stone, and everything will happen naturally.

6. Walk every day, don’t be afraid of thousands of miles; do it often. Don't be afraid of anything.

7. When the soil accumulates, it becomes a mountain, and the wind and rain stir it up. When water accumulates and forms a deep abyss, dragons emerge. If you don't accumulate steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be able to reach a river or sea. With perseverance, gold and stone can be carved.

8. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

9. Accumulating knowledge is better than accumulating gold and silver.

10. A trickle of water can eventually wear away a boulder, not because it is powerful, but because of its constant dripping day and night. Only through diligent and unremitting efforts can those skills be acquired.
