与其使乡党有誉言，不如令乡党无怨言；与其为子孙谋产业，不如教子孙习恒业。
译文：与其让乡邻夸赞自己，不如让他们对自己没有怨言；与其为子孙谋求财富和产业，不如教会他们受用一生的本事。赏析：我们要做到被人人称赞很难，但可以做到不被人抱怨。对方抱怨，肯定是内心有不平事。当我们动之以情，晓之以理，做到公平公正，一视同仁，乡邻的怨愤才会减少。授人以鱼，不如授人以渔。我们竭尽全力为子孙后代积攒万贯家财，如果他们不会理财，家业迟早都会败光。相反，我们教会他们赚钱的本事，教会他们做人的准则，他们自然可以立于不败之地。

At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.
