Respect your own elders, which extends to respecting the elders of others; caring for your own children, extends to caring for the children of others.

2. If you enjoy the people's happiness, the people will also enjoy their happiness; if you care about the people's worries, the people will also worry about their worries.

Those who regard the people's happiness as their own happiness will also have their own happiness as their own; those who regard the people's sorrow as their own sorrow will also have their sorrow as their sorrow.

5. If you can, you can be official, if you can stop, you can stop, if you can, you can be long, if you can, you can be fast.

If you should be an official, you should be an official; if you should resign, then resign; if you should continue to work, then continue to work; if you should leave, then leave immediately.

6. Be kind to others, sacrifice yourself and obey others, and be willing to take advantage of others as a good thing.

When it comes to doing good, there is no distinction between others and oneself. Abandon what is wrong with oneself, accept what is right by others, and happily absorb the advantages of others to do good deeds.
