Ways to Improve Yourself in 2026​

I. Socializing​
1. Whether it's family, friends, or strangers, if they don't主动通知你, pretend not to know and don't go up to show concern.​
2. Never lend money.​
3. Don't tell anyone secrets, even good friends.​
4. Be equal to everyone; if you owe nothing, there's no need to be overly cautious.​
5. Don't try to be a teacher to others, and avoid rushing to rebut; learn to listen or praise.​
6. Be generous when treating others well; this is a way to see through people's hearts.​
II. Self-Improvement​
1. Only care about three things: yourself, family, money​
2. Only do three things: study, make money, exercise​
3. Only read three types of books: history, philosophy, sociology​
4. Only deeply associate with three types of people: capable, thoughtful, action-oriented​
III. Human Nature​
1. Don't overestimate or underestimate human nature — even a fierce tiger can be approached, but acquaintances may not be truly close.​
2. Besides yourself, no one genuinely wishes you well: they may hate you, laugh at you, dislike your poverty, or fear your wealth.​
3. The ones who can truly hurt you are “your own people,” so don't reveal your secrets to anyone.​
4. Keep secrets in your heart; it's the safest, otherwise you might end up shooting yourself in the foot.
