Chapter 12 - Witty sayings and insightful advice on life

It's better to be a good person than a good worker.

Of course, it's best if someone is good at both getting things done and

dealing with people; then they'll often accomplish good things

themselves. But if they only know how to be a good person and not

how to get things done, then they'll often end up not doing anything

good. Getting something done often requires going through many

people; without them, nothing can be accomplished. Human relations

are the most difficult aspect of all things. -- (Young Chasing Life)

Sometimes, to accomplish something, you have to take a roundabout

approach, retreat to advance, be unpredictable, and be fickle; and eventhen, success isn't guaranteed. — (Young Chasing Life)

who can embrace all things under heaven are truly boundless. —

Seeking revenge only breeds enemies. The best way to ensure your own

would spend fighting enemies to help others, and to do good without

expecting anything in return. — (A Stunning Shot)

they will not be seriously wounded. — (A stunning shot)Having no regrets isn't necessarily a good thing; those who don't reflect

regrets and thus without shame, that is true, unregretful fulfillment. —

(A Stunning Shot)

For a kind and honest person, lying to the strong or ordinary people is

One should have a lofty will and a calm mind. — (A stunning shot)

Not everyone in this world can live a life that is entirely satisfactory. But

we must never allow ourselves to be satisfied at the expense of many

others.

is a lie. — (A stunning shot)

down with you.

Anything that focuses on success or failure, gain or loss, is not

righteousness, but profit. —(Heartbroken Little Arrow)

Seriousness inspires trust and also cultivates a serious attitude in

subordinates. —(Sad Little Arrow)

If it's not necessary, there's really no need for people to fall out so

openly. If you see someone you don't like and treat them with an air of

irreconcilable enmity, in the end, you'll probably be more likely to end

up walking backwards than walking on solid ground. — (Sad Little

Arrow)

encounters trouble, they are afraid of getting involved and will run away

as fast as they can. Before leaving, they will even turn around and

accuse the other person, shifting all responsibility and blame onto

them. They become the villains who accuse the other first, transforming

themselves from comrades-in-arms to righteous individuals who betray

their own family. — (Sad Little Arrow)

In life, one cannot only choose to do the right things. — (Young Cold

Blooded)

Shouldn't people behave like they are worshipping gods when they do

so?

When you encounter a ghost, shouldn't you act like a ghost?
