1. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble others with what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend money you do not yet have.
4. Never buy something you do not need just because it is cheap; it may turn out to be more expensive for you.
5. Never be proud; pride is more harmful than hunger, thirst, and cold.
6. Do not overeat; eating too little will not cause regret.
7. Do not worry about things that are impossible.
8. Always do things in the right way.
9. When you are angry, count to 10 before speaking; if you are furious, count to 100.
