Lot 41 of 100
There are endless good things, but remember well
The poem
無限好事君須記恰如認賊作為子莫貪眼下有些甜可慮他時還受苦
In English
There are endless good things, but remember well:it is like taking a thief for your own child.Do not crave a little sweetness before your eyes;consider that later you may suffer for it.
What it says
The poem warns that something appealing may not be what it seems, like mistaking a thief for your own child. Do not grab a small sweetness now without thinking of the cost later. It is a lot about looking ahead and recognizing temptation.
A thought to take with you
When a benefit seems too easy, consider what it might cost you later.
