If you want to live a smooth life, you must never speak beyond the limits. As the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted, and blessings should not be boasted about. For example, saying things like, I haven't been sick for years, I make a profit every time I do business, I have never had an accident while driving, such statements are considered excessive. Therefore, when ancient people heard others praise them, they would always add a phrase like "Thanks to your blessings" or "I appreciate your good words." Because too much pride invites loss, while humility brings benefits, only those who are blessed can see others. Add five words for yourself: "One smooth leads to a hundred smooth." Remember, do not speak beyond the limits, and leave blessings by being humble.
