Speak with Discernment, Learning Should Have Depth

Maturity isn't about learning to express yourself, but about learning to swallow. It's about gradually mastering the ability to suppress many things, in order to effectively navigate life's path. Cutting off your escape routes allows you to find a better way forward. Often, we need the courage to sever our own retreat options.

Maintain a grounded approach to behavior and dealings, genuinely and sincerely perform actions. Life's journey is a series of growth experiences and trials. Life takes many forms, and there are many ways to live. Living the days you love, and living in the way you love, is the best way to live.

In dealing with others, maintain elegance and propriety; speech should be measured; learning should be deep; work should have intensity; actions should have force; problem-solving should have breadth; limited use of threats. Love should have viscosity; home should have warmth. Good friends should have breadth; friendship should be moderate; people don't need to envy each other. Health is the length of life.
