勿以己之长而盖人；勿以己之善而形人；勿以己之多能而困人。收敛才智，若无若虚。
译文：别人不如自己的地方，不可以拿出来，在他面前卖弄；别人做不了的善事，不能因自己做过而拿出来炫耀；别人能力比不上我，不能拿来难为别人、压制别人；即使自己很有才华，也要懂得收敛起来，不要招摇，做到看起来很平凡。
Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this no dog exchanges bones with another.
I don't think about failure. I think about the next step.
不要害怕承担经过计算的风险；真正的成长就在那里。
事情一旦开了头，就有成功的基础、等到事情成功以后，政绩才能显现出来。开始行动才有成功的希望，无所事事，锦鲤也不会光顾。
Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.
