The conduct of a person who has both ability and political integrity is to cultivate virtue with peace of mind and improve morality with frugality. If you can't be quiet and have few desires, you can't have a clear ambition, and if you can't be peaceful and quiet, you can't realize your lofty ideals. Studying requires a quiet mood, and learning is needed to increase talents.

If you don't study, you can't grow your talents, and if you don't have ambition, you can't succeed in learning. Indulgence and sluggishness will not lift the spirit, and extreme impetuousness will not cultivate temperament. In this way, age and learning will fly by with time, and the will will will fade with the years, and finally the energy will be exhausted and the knowledge will not be accepted, and then the poor home will be sadly guarded, even if it is too late to regret it.
