Dealing with every issue of the day,
Be alert to each fine detail
And look before you leap,
Taking next move. To realise
The worldly things is not yet a simple
And straightforward task to do,
For this reason people love
To talk about good fortune and luck,
Auspicious terms and disadvantages,
Gains and losses to make a profit.
Protecting bad men, one can benefit,
But damaging good people, one can
Be honoured with heroic awards.
He who knows about all these tricks
Overflows his talk with weasel words;
He who calls the black white pursues
His own ends to serve. Therefore,
Whether a deal is good or ill
I do judge myself, . . I never trust
The flattering lips of most of traders.
