Take advantage of an opportunity while it's still available.

Actions are more important than promises (or objectives).

Wherever you go, follow the customs of the people there.

Some things are not as valuable as they might originally seem.

People's inquisitiveness can get them into trouble.

Don't hurt or betray the people who take care of you.

Don't rely on something that is still uncertain.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Don't procrastinate doing something that you can take care of sooner.

Failing by a small margin has the same effects as failing by a large one.
