The worst enemy of men is their own mouth. By it one falls sick, by it one dies and by it enemies are made. Guard yourself against your own mouth and beware of speeches made. When words are spoken carelessly and without any harm, upon entering into others' ears, a curse may arise. Be on guard at all times, even a careless whisper can bring us nightmare and bitterness for a long, long time.

The other senses that one should guard against, is the eyes that may play one out. With it all beauties are seen. With extra illusion to it, we will only see things that we wish to see. Do not think of beauty as a thing. Appearance almost always deceives the eyes, for one only sees the outer and not the inner nature within it. Just as one can never judge a book by its cover but the contents in it, think deeply and use wisdom granted to differentiate things. Once one misjudges in a decision, it is like letting crabs loose on the run.

A person's life always includes bitterness as well as sweetness and it intermingles and manifests their presence throughout one's lifetime. Men in their whole life, think only of big plan. Planning too big, one must crack his head. Be realistic in life and do not wear a hat that is much bigger than our head. In good fit, it will only serve a purpose. It is good that man plans, but know the plan in order to achieve. If one is lame, do not try to jump because one will fall. Facing reality sometimes is a painful affair. To face a downfall, man may seek death instead, yet why not pick up again and work for better things.

Do not take life too lightly or seriously, be in the middle path and first learn to realize what life actually is meant for. Do not misuse it but learn through mistakes made. A person who is at the bottom, will not remain there forever. Neither will those at the height of it remain where they are. It depends a lot on one's own doing. Whether up or down the ladder, you hold this destiny in your hand. Just take each step with firmness and think straight. Take a tortoise and a rabbit in race, with determination the tortoise can win or it can still reach the finishing line. A person must always have faith and confidence in each step he takes. Determination to struggle on plays a very important part in the struggle of life. Along the way, expects bitterness and sweetness; think not of what others say.

Yesterday is gone and one may not even see tomorrow. As minute and minute passes, utilize it rightly and perform according to the law of nature. You will see more sweetness than bitterness. What we do today affects our tomorrow. For a better tomorrow do somethings good today. Single cent by single cent, one learns to save. Only with time will it grow. Options, men have plenty, never go to the wrong finishing line which is bitterness.
