Comments: A moral person should not care too much about food and shelter. He should be diligent, agile, cautious and careful in his work, and be able to review himself at any time and ask moral people to correct their words and deeds. As a gentleman, we should restrain the desire to pursue material enjoyment and pay attention to shaping our own moral quality, so as to achieve our noble subject personality.
