Whether we are talking, eating, listening or whatever we are doing, the reason we are here is to study ourselves. We study ourselves to find out how vast and uncomplicated our minds really are. We can only find this unbiased truth by our own direct experiences.
Go through life without showing off or attracting attention to yourself, this will only bring the hostility of others. Accomplish all you want without attracting the scorn or envy of others. If you have to prove yourself at some point, you must use all your skills and do your best.
There are three things to treasure: simplicity, patience, and compassion. Simple in your actions and thoughts and you return to the source of being. Patience with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate towards yourself and all is at peace.
If you are in a leading role, you should be humble, sincere, gentle and magnanimous, willing to seek harmony with others. Once you have achieved success, do not become too proud of it. Remember the greatest gift we can give is our gratitude.
