1. Be thick-skinned enough to do everything; be ruthless enough to achieve all-round results.

2. When doing big things, you cannot care about face. Even the poor have food to eat, can face be exchanged for steamed buns?

3. You need to be thick before you succeed so that people will help you; you need to be dark after you succeed so that people will be afraid of you. This order cannot be reversed.

4. When dealing with people and doing things, you must find a moral high ground so that others have nothing to say.

5. Acknowledge and set a goal, then be patient when encountering problems, be ruthless when taking action, and be steady when dealing with the aftermath.

6. If you don’t insist on getting what belongs to you with confidence, no one will help you.
