Old rules, with original text:
35． When things are considered, it is even more important to consider important things
When things are considered, it is even more important to consider important things. Stupid people fall into grief because of their lack of thinking. They know nothing about things, and because they don't know what they gain or lose, they don't want to go all out to do it. Some people also think, but they put the cart before the horse, ignore the urgent things, but make a big fuss about trivial matters. Some people never lose their minds, because they have no reason at all. There are a few things that we need to look into and take to heart. Wise men think about everything, but they make a difference, they pay special attention to the most difficult things, and they always feel that they are likely to think about it poorly. In this way, what he is worried about will be known to him.
35．Think over things, most over the most important
Think over things, most over the most important. All fools come to grief from want of thought. They never see even the half of things, and as they do not observe their own loss or gain, still less do they apply any diligence to them. Some make much of what imports little and little of much, always weighing in the wrong scale. Many never lose their common sense, because they have none to lose. There are matters which should be observed with the closest attention of the mind, and thenceforth kept in its lowest depths. The wise man thinks over everything, but with a difference, most profoundly where there is some profound difficulty, and thinks that perhaps there is more in it than he thinks. Thus his comprehension extends as far as his apprehension.
