Waiting is a kind of tempering and a test. Ability is often improved through the hardships of waiting, and opportunities often come through the tests of waiting. When a gentleman waits, he uses his needs to cultivate his body and mind and stick to the right path; when danger comes, only by being upright and self-improvement can he not fall into it. "If you need, you will be prosperous and virtuous, and you will be lucky." This sentence must be engraved into the most important part of the heart and used to correct the heart. "It is beneficial to the great rivers", and you will surely achieve success in doing this.
On the road of life, you will inevitably encounter various difficulties and obstacles. You must be very cautious, treat the slander of villains calmly, and be calm in the face of disasters. Do not act rashly, choose the direction calmly, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to move, and everything will be smooth sailing.
