The True Master

Strategies

1. A fish that keeps quiet is the least likely to get hooked.
2. Don't reveal your bottom line easily just because you get along temporarily.
3. Those who can control their mouths are very powerful, whether eating or talking.
4. People who pick your faults are just trying to intimidate, not because you really have faults.
5. When someone asks you questions with an answer in mind, they want not the answer but your weakness.
6. Don't rush to take revenge; rotten fruit will fall from the tree on its own.

Dealing with the World

1. When others invite you, don't bring friends along.
2. When dining at someone else's house, never go empty-handed.
3. The more contact you have with relatives, the more conflicts arise.
4. When visiting someone else's home, arrive late rather than early.
5. When lending money, bring a little something when repaying.
6. Don't add your friend's wife on WeChat; just keep her phone number.
7. When you lack strength, don't try to please others.
