1. You should communicate with decent people.
They can be trusted in debt. Their decency is a reliable support both in business and in disputes, because they behave and act exactly as their heart tells them, without reservations about those around them. It is sometimes better to argue with decent people than to fight to the death with vile people. You can never come to an agreement with meanness; it does not recognize any laws or rules. That is why there is and never can be true friendship between scoundrels.

2. You should not get involved in rivalry.
Competition is disgusting because it reveals all human vices and impurities. It's like envy - if it exists, then it doesn't matter what color it is.

3. Tolerating the bad temper of some people around you.
It’s like having an ugly face, you can’t escape it, especially if you yourself are dependent and not free. There is a category of people who are completely animalistic and have a ferocious disposition, and it is not easy to live with them, and sometimes it is impossible to leave. In this case, it is necessary to prudently and gradually get used to it, as with the ugliness of the face.

4. You must earn a reputation as a friendly person.
Sometimes this is enough to win people's hearts. Friendliness is the main feature of culture.

5. There is no need to look for enmity and hostility.
An angry person is always ready for a quarrel, he doesn’t even need to look for words for this, they are always somewhere nearby. Endearing yourself to many is the key to a calm and respectful life.

6. Don’t be a collector of other people’s mistakes.
A sure sign of your own decline is when you begin to notice the shame of others. By pointing out the imperfections of others, some try to hide their own failures and blemishes. If the heart feels good from the failure of another, then that person’s soul is petty.

7. Avoid all kinds of complaints.
Complaining always brings harm: it is more likely to stir up evil feelings, while you are counting on sympathy. And most often you get tired of listening to other people’s complaints, it’s like a contagious disease, what hurts you, will certainly itch someone else. It’s much better the other way around: try to praise the actions of others and convict them of their wisdom.

8. Learn the beauty of behavior.
And the soul has its own grace. Not everyone is given beauty of behavior; there is a lot of spiritual greatness in it. Its first sign is to speak well of your enemies. The beauty of behavior lies in the fact that he does not boast of victory, having won, does not boast of power, having received it according to deserts, but accepts everything with simplicity.

9. Do not cause a spirit of contradiction with your behavior.
This way you can be branded a fool and an upstart. Whoever contradicts all the time will certainly become famous, which is what he desires, but he will become famous as a person who is quarrelsome and grumpy, always arguing and grumbling.

10. Figure it out first, and then get wiser.

11. Have the art of not interfering where not asked.
If the sea is raging, will you go to calm it down?

12. You should not listen only to yourself.
What's the point of liking yourself if others have an unflattering opinion of you?

13. It is difficult not to mix two extremes: while falling into originality, not to reach vulgarity. Many people suffer from this disease today. If you are not original, you will be nothing. And so it comes to vulgarity, because this path is the shortest.
