9.  In adversity, endure

10  Honesty is your greatest asset

11.   Know your friends

12  Count none as enemy

14  To be in harmony with the Way

is the route to peace and wisdom

15.  Avoid comparison and envy

16.  Do not gossip or back-bite

18.   Know what is timely

19  Always be punctual

20. Blame yourself, not others

21.  Don't teach or preach

22.  Don't laugh aloud in the presence of sad people

23.  Treat your host's home with greater care than with your own

24.  Do it right --the first time

27.   Conscience has nothing to do with reason

28.   Gratitude is root of humanity

29   Winning and losing are both illusions

30.  Live life without apology
