keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others
avoid curiosity
do not interfere in the affairs of others
accept small irritations with good humor
do not dwell on the faults of others
accept censures even if unmerited
give in to the will of others
accept insults and injuries
accept contempt, being forgotten and disregarded
accept injuries and insults
be courteous and delicate even when provoked by someone
do not seek to be admired and loved
do not protect yourself behind your own dignity
give in, in discussions, even when you are right
always choose the more difficult task
