People are too honest, easily deceived;

If you have utility, those around you will flock to you;
Once you lose your usefulness, even those who were distant will come closer.
This is the true nature of reality.

Don't test people's hearts, it will only lead to complete disappointment.
Some things are best kept to yourself, no need to say everything;
Some people are enough to know, no need for deep friendship.
Do what you should do; who is good or bad, keep it in your heart.

The way of dealing with the world is three parts shrewd, three parts muddle-headed,
The remaining four parts are left to time to verify.

There are two things in the world that cannot be looked directly at:
One is the sun, which hurts the eyes;
The other is human nature, which hurts the heart.

When hearts exchange, if you are sincere to me, I will respond doubly;
If you are hypocritical, I will turn and leave.
