Testimonials: The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; the world is all for profit. A person who is poor and destitute, has no use value, even if he lives in a downtown area, will be unattended; a person who is rich in money, even if he lives in the mountains, will also have distant relatives come to visit.
Third, who has no one to say behind his back, and who does not speak before him?
Testimonials: Each of us hates others for saying bad things about themselves behind their backs, but we often say bad things about others in front of others. Confucius said, "Do not do to others what you do not want", when we talk about others in front of people and say bad things about others, should we not reflect on ourselves?

Eighth, it is better to believe in what it has than not to believe in its absence.
Testimonials: Many times, we are like a frog at the bottom of a well, although our vision is narrow, we are still very persistent, always think that we are right, and others are nonsense.
