1 – GOOD PERSON LEARNS TO ADVISE HIMSELF
Some people might study a great deal of general subjects, but they are unable to educate and tame themselves. Therefore, they are careless in action, speech and other expressions. Action, speech, and other expressions tell us their self-education, self-advice, or self-discipline.
As human beings, if we fail to tame, educate and advise ourselves, no one may train us to be a good person, just as a skillful driver only knows how to drive but has no discipline and no goal.
2 - GOOD BEGETS GOOD
Whether people know, see, or do not know or not see, praise or not praise, gain or lose, goodness is the work that needs to be done because it is a special reward the good-doer will receive in a timely manner.
3 - GETTING SALARY, BUT LIFE HAS RUN OUT FOR 30 DAYS
There are many people who work with monthly salary. They normally look forward to their pay at the end of each month. In this regard, they never think of life that has run out for thirty days too. Life draws closer to death or death comes closer and closer. Well, we get the money but our life has run out.
Life is very precious. Even a millionaire or a great capitalist has nothing to guarantee his/her life. When death comes, he dies. If life can be guaranteed by property, the rich will not agree to die. 30-day life is worth more than a 30-day salary. The wise, therefore, ought to accumulate and keep goodness in their hearts, so they will not waste their precious life.
4 - OBSERVE AND LEARN FROM NATURE
If we are humble enough, both good people and bad people could be considered as our teachers.
Good people are models for us to see that these are good, and we should follow their foot steps. While bad people receive bad results, they are examples for us to see, we should avoid and not associate with them. Our past mistake could be considered as our teacher as well, we only have
