Be a simple person and do your job according to your duties
Simple as a blank sheet of paper
Striving for simplicity is better than boasting about benevolence and righteousness
Maintain your natural self and be your true self
Be honest and follow the rules when doing things
The world of virtue and filial piety may not be clear and bright
Less desire
Be low-key in life and high-profile in social interactions
Be down-to-earth, don't just focus on fame and see the essence
Greatness comes from ordinariness

Chapter 3: Conceiving like a valley, gains and losses are unimpeded
Contentment brings happiness
Fame and fortune are external things

Only by having no self in one's heart can one surpass oneself

Embracing ignorance and guarding foolishness may seem useless, but it is actually of great use

The reason is revealed to be carefree
Instead of expecting something to be empty, it's better to be present
Chapter 6: Concentrate on the Heart, Perseverance Becomes Gold
Tolerate what is not tolerated, endure what is not tolerated, and what others cannot do

Don't fall into the abyss of vanity
Optimistic and carefree, open-minded and accompanying, life without burden
Do not let the external world become a shackle to the heart
Clear mind and few desires, moderate moderation
To the public is to the private
Chapter 9: Adhering to Virtue and Dealing with People Calmly
There are people outside, there is heaven outside
Humble and low-key, courteous and virtuous
There are hills and valleys in the belly, and tolerance is great
Not deceiving others is the foundation of one's livelihood
Life only comes once, being kind is cherishing

Sadness and luck are just choices made by the heart
Fortune and misfortune remain the same, waiting for them as usual
Treat life as an art form
Chapter 13: Straight inside and straight outside, treating each other honestly
How many faces are there in life
The malignant spread of the heart
I was misled by intelligence for a lifetime
Show people the truth and their hearts are also true
The heavier the snobbery, the more troubles there will be
The outer melody also needs to be straight inside
Ultimate learning without worries
Chapter 14: Like a fish in water, retreat is progress
To retreat is to advance, to strive without contention, to defend as an attack
If you want to take it, you must give it first, take one step back and two steps forward
To retreat is to move forward
Keep your head low and your waist straight
The lowest point is exactly the highest point
