1. You will never see the true face of a couple until the moment of divorce; you will never know the true face of a sister until she touches money; you cannot confirm the filial piety of parents until they are at their bedside; you can never see the humanity of friends until interests are involved.
2. If you give him benefits every day, he will immediately turn against you if you stop giving him benefits one day! On the contrary, if you are strict with him every day and relax once in a while, he will be grateful.
3. Beggars will not envy millionaires, but they will envy beggars who earn more than themselves. People can accept the success of a stranger, but often find it difficult to accept the promotion of people around them.
4. Human nature is like this: he hates what you have and laughs at what you don’t have; he dislikes your poverty and is afraid of your wealth. Everyone is like the pot calling the kettle black.
5. In this world, there are two things you cannot look directly at: one is the sun, because it is dazzling; the other is human nature, because it is unfathomable.
6. Talk about money with people, and you will see the wolf side of human nature; talk about feelings with people, and you will find more ungrateful people. A relationship maintained by money, if it lasts for a long time, may eventually give rise to feelings; while a relationship maintained by feelings, once interests are involved, will often fall apart, and in the end only hatred will remain.
7. If you are too honest, others will bully you; if you are too kind, others will take advantage of you. People who look difficult to mess with are the ones that no one dares to mess with. If you are a little tough, others will be polite to you. This is the true portrayal of human nature.
8. If you want to live a mediocre life, no one will stop you; but if you want to stand out, many people will try to trip you up.
9. Don’t complain or vent your grievances to anyone casually, otherwise you will often get not sympathy but ridicule and indifference.
10. Don't expect those friends who only care about you for food and drink to help you. They will just stay away from you at the critical moment. When faced with interests, they may even stab you in the back. If you regard friends who only care about you for food and drink as real friends, you are just too naive.
11. In novels and movies, people are divided into good and bad; but in reality, people are complex and often gray. Don't simply judge a person by good or bad, that's too naive.
12. Sometimes, you have done nothing wrong, but you will be scolded just because you are different from others or misunderstood. If you don't have enough self-control, you will be easily drowned by spit.
13. Life is like this. There are many people who can share adversity with you, but few who can share happiness with you. Once you lose your usefulness, you must be prepared to be abandoned.
14. Classmates get-togethers are all occasions for bragging. Those who make money brag about how great they are, and those who go bankrupt brag about how open-minded they are. In the end, it all comes down to one thing: life is no big deal, just start over.
15. Don't be a pushover. Not only will people not be grateful to you, they will also take your efforts for granted and use you even more. You have to be a little cool and let people know that you are not someone who can be bullied.
