30. Self-discipline is the prerequisite for mastering life and also a good medicine for curing anxiety; those who are self-disciplined can be said to possess great wisdom.

37. However, those who think themselves wise are still oblivious to being trapped in a trap, and they believe they have achieved something. Throughout history, when a person is so wise that they can pretend to be foolish, they have entered the ranks of true wisdom, becoming the wisest among the wise, the best among the experts. Such people are truly the ones who can laugh last and laugh best. When someone is clearly foolish and yet goes to great lengths to pretend to be wise and cover up their mistakes, then what awaits them is inevitably a悲惨 fate.

49. Everyone in this world is an independent individual, not everything is suitable for discussion. You may not understand someone else's life, but you shouldn't point fingers.
