When we see the goodness of others 206. We should encourage ourselves to learn from them 207. Even if we are far behind them 208. Gradually we will achieve as they have 209. When we see the faults of others 210. We should reflect on our own behavior 211. If we have the same fault, correct it 212. If we do not have this fault, we should always be alert and not make the same mistake 213. When our morals 214. Knowledge, and skills 215. Are not as good as those of others 216. We should encourage ourselves to try harder 217. If the clothes we wear 218. And the food we eat 219. Are not as good as what others have 220. Do not feel sad 221. If criticism makes us angry 222. And compliments make us happy 223. We will attract bad company 224. While good friends will leave us 225. If we are appreciative of criticism 226. And uneasy with compliments 227. People who are virtuous, sincere, and trustworthy 228. Will gradually become our friends 229. If we accidentally make a mistake 230. It is only an error 231. But if we do it on purpose 232. It is definitely wrong 233. If we correct our faults and mistakes 234. And do not repeat them, then they will cease 235. But if we try to cover them up 236. We will be doubly wrong
