The 100 Guanyin lots

Lot 58 of 100

Remember good and honest words well

The poem

忠言善語君須記莫向他方求別藝勸君安守舊生涯除卻有餘都不是

In English

Remember good and honest words well:do not look elsewhere for another trade.I advise you to stay with your old livelihood;apart from what you have in surplus, nothing else is right.

What it says

The poem urges you to remember honest advice, not to look elsewhere for another trade, and to stay with your current livelihood. Beyond what you already have in surplus, nothing else suits. It encourages contentment and deepening what you already know.

A thought to take with you

For now, deepen what you already do well instead of rushing to switch.
