Being towards death

Heed not to the tree-rustling and leaf-lashing rain, Why not stroll along, whistle and sing under its rein. Lighter and better suited than horses are straw sandals and a bamboo staff, Who's afraid? A palm-leaf plaited cape provides enough to misty weather in life sustain. A thorny spring breeze sobers up the spirit, I feel a slight chill, The setting sun over the mountain offers greetings still. Looking back over the bleak passage survived, The return in time Shall not be affected by windswept rain or shine.

  1. In any kind of relationship, strength is the primary factor, and interests come first. Don't harbor unrealistic fantasies about others; emotions are often very fragile in the face of interests and power, and are not as valuable as you think.

  2. The hospital's rule is to pay first and then receive treatment. This seemingly normal process makes many poor people hesitate in the face of illness and reluctantly give up treatment; this is the harsh reality.

  3. Don't blindly believe in any circles. A circle is not something you can just enter; there is no warmth, only mutual interests at play. When you have value, the circle will naturally form; otherwise, it's just an empty dream.

  4. Connections do not come out of nowhere; they are determined by your value. If your value is high, your network will be broad; if you have no value, your connections will be as illusory as bubbles, disappearing quickly.

  5. The true wealth of the rich is not those mansions, luxury cars, and savings, but the poor. The poor form the foundation of the rich's wealth accumulation, creating value for them.

  6. After entering society, you will find that most interpersonal relationships are mutually beneficial. The size of your value directly determines how long the relationship can last; don't overestimate the weight of emotions in it.

  7. Never impulsively tear apart relationships. When conflicts arise, never be the first to flip the table; after all, the world is vast, and you will encounter people everywhere.

  8. Smile at those you dislike; this is a kind of patience we must learn. Even if it feels a bit disgusting, it is a sign of maturity.

  9. In crowded places, you must control your words. The more you speak, the more likely you are to make mistakes; saying the wrong thing will only bring trouble to yourself.

  10. When alone or in a small group, you must control your thoughts. Allowing wild thoughts to flourish will only lead to endless fantasies and subsequent pain, which is self-inflicted trouble.

  11. In the game of society, there is no need to go to great lengths to please others for a good impression; you are the one who should be cherished. Outside of yourself, no one deserves such flattery.

  12. Among acquaintances, being too sharp can easily lead to jealousy. Knowing how to hide your strength and quietly accumulate wealth is the mark of a wise person.

  13. Making money is the most powerful way to protect yourself and your loved ones; a solid economic foundation is a guarantee of stability.

  14. Don't be bound by others' gazes; focus solely on your goals and strive towards them. The unspoken rules of social interaction state that when others do not understand you, they will be wary and not dare to bully you easily.

  15. Don't be too eager to take on tasks; otherwise, you may unintentionally offend others.

  16. People can accept the success of strangers but cannot tolerate those around them doing better than themselves. It's like when one person earns money, the whole village is envious; when one person becomes wealthy, the whole village tries to stop them.

  17. Don't be too straightforward when speaking; you should know how to give others face.

  18. Don't collaborate with relatives and friends in money-making ventures; the key to business is to satisfy strangers.

  19. Don't reveal all your skills at once; you need to keep some cards up your sleeve.

  20. Complain about being poor in front of friends, boast appropriately in front of strangers, don't show poverty to those in higher positions, and don't flaunt wealth to those in lower positions. When poor, don't mention it; when rich, don't mention it either.

  21. Speaking actually serves three purposes. Either it can make people happy, which makes everyone like you; or it can make others willingly help you; or it can help you earn money, which is very practical.

  22. Never argue with those who are unreasonable, just like you wouldn't wrestle with a pig. If you get entangled with them and end up dirty, you will feel bad, but they won't care and might even enjoy it.

  23. Don't frequently post on social media for no reason. Many people who come to care about you actually just want to see how poorly you are doing; don't give them that opportunity.

  24. Regardless of the relationship, if the other party never considers your feelings or interests, you should quickly cut ties with such people; don't let yourself continue to suffer losses.
