Do not scold your children before meals,
do not curse your wife before sleep,
do not discuss others outside,
do not dwell on past grievances at home.
Help in emergencies, not in poverty,
assist the clumsy, not the lazy,
show kindness without expecting repayment,
avoid forming grudges over enemies.
Speak only when necessary,
never do things absolutely,
don’t eat until you’re stuffed,
don’t drink to excess.
Check the weather before leaving,
observe people’s expressions when entering,
speak appropriately for the occasion,
act with proper discretion.
Do not be friends with gamblers,
do not work with alcoholics,
do not confide in those who are unfaithful and unkind.
Keep wealth discreet,
avoid boasting,
do not bully the weak,
be humble despite wealth.
Do not borrow money early in the morning,
do not visit the sick at midnight,
avoid arguing during festivals,
do not cause trouble at happy and sad events.
Do not harbor malicious intentions,
be cautious of others,
know people’s faces but not their hearts,
drawing a tiger’s skin is easy, but capturing its bones is hard.
