The world can be tough. Sometimes being honest can make people take advantage of you while being too tricky can hurt you.

The key is finding a balance. Sometimes it’s okay to play dumb to avoid trouble, but don’t be a pushover. Let people know you have limits and will stand up for yourself.

True suffering isn’t something to brag about. It’s often those who cause it who say “suffering is a blessing.”

A good person isn’t afraid to suffer for what’s right, while a bad person takes advantage of others.

Be a good person, but don’t be naive. It’s okay to protect yourself and not share everything. Value what you have and don’t chase after things that aren’t yours.

Don’t get stuck in confusion. Sometimes acting a little clueless is okay, but know when to speak your mind. There are things you can understand without needing to expose or make fun of others.

When dealing with bad people, don’t be afraid to confront them directly. They won’t change if you’re nice.

You won’t please everyone. Some people will cause trouble, but that’s okay. It’s your life, live it on your terms. Be strong and confident, but also know when to be quiet. Keep learning and stay true to yourself, no matter what.
