1. Don't give money to those who are greedy for cheap.

Don't ask anything from suspicious people.

People who are greedy for petty gain and cheap gain together with him will inevitably cause unhappiness. A suspicious person can't cooperate with him, because the most important thing in cooperation is to be honest with each other, and mutual suspicion can't cooperate.

2. Without half an acre, you worry about the world.

Read thousands of books and make friends with the ancients.

This is the left narrative couplet. The first part can be compared to Gu's "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". The second part expresses the interest in maintaining ancient lofty ideals. "The ancient people are themselves, and today's people are human beings." Reading is to be refined and to make friends with sages.

3. Make a first-class wish, make a first-class love and enjoy a second-class blessing.

If you choose to stand tall, sit flat and walk wide.

This is the left couplet. Shanglian means to be ambitious, just seeking a moderate fate and living an ordinary life. "To aim high" means to have lofty aspirations and compassion for others; The "golden mean" is to adhere to the golden mean and pursue perfection instead of perfection; "Enjoy inferior happiness" means to enjoy the real happiness of life and experience the joy of life.

The bottom line is to be far-sighted, to be low-key and to leave room for things. Only by "choosing a high position" can we be far-sighted; "Sit flat" can eliminate disasters; "Go wide" can be unimpeded.

One of Li Ka-shing's favorite couplets hangs in his office.

Don't be bullied when you are down and out.

Don't be jealous when you are successful in official career.

"Don't be bullied" means that people should maintain their personal dignity in times of adversity and embarrassment and can't accept the humiliation of others; "Not to be envied" means to keep a low profile when you are rich and modest, and not to be envied.

5. Being able to withstand the wind and rain and sharpen a man of steel without being envied is a mediocrity.

Men should be more frustrated and brave, don't bow to difficulties and don't give up easily; Don't be a bad guy, be a talented person who can make a difference, and go forward even if you are envied by some people around you.

6. there are many things in the world, and there is nothing to send in the past and present.

There are all kinds of things between heaven and earth, and there are reasons for their existence. What is realistic is reasonable, and what is reasonable is realistic. Throughout the ages, everything has become empty. Ask the boundless earth, who is in charge of ups and downs? I was alone, and my tears fell!

7. If you don't read, you will get a good friend; Reading what you have read is like meeting an old friend.

Reading is to make friends with the ancients, and good books are often read and updated.

8. Too frugal, too generous, and everything is simple.

Never use waves. This is the way to cherish blessings and protect your family.

Thrift is the way to cultivate one's self-cultivation and keep a house. Luxury and leisure lead to death, but thrift leads to long-term success.
