"Be cautious in being alone and self-disciplined, cultivate yourself and make others happy" means to improve your self-cultivation, handle things cautiously and rationally, and make people happy.

The so-called caution means being able to act cautiously when others cannot see it; being able to stay awake even when others cannot hear it. If you want to see a better version of yourself, you must be self-disciplined. Self-discipline requires learning to exercise restraint even when no one is supervising you. The "cautiousness" of a gentleman refers to the self-discipline from the "superego", strictly restraining himself, and striving to become the person he hopes to be.

For thousands of years, "being cautious in independence", as the highest state of self-cultivation, has often been on the lips of the Chinese people. The word "Be cautious of independence" comes from the Confucian book "Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean" written during the Qin and Han Dynasties: "A gentleman is wary of what he does not see, and is afraid of what he does not hear. Do not see what is hidden, do not reveal what is insignificant, so a gentleman is careful of what he does not see." "Alone."
